Raphael
The Transfiguration (1520)
Immediately before his death, Raphael set his sights on heaven and painted possibly his most beautiful work, this heavenly face of Jesus. Raphael died of a fever on his 37th birthday, which was on a Good Friday. The fever may have been from overwork, and he died after ten days of high temperatures. He died by his unfinished painting, The Transfiguration. His best pupil, Giulio Romano, finished the painting.

Michelangelo (1475-1564)Universal man. Produced masterpieces in architecture, sculpture and painting.Michelangelo was perhaps the greatest painter and sculptor of all time. He was a prodigy by age 15. He believed that genius came not from careful planning but divine inspiration. He only worked when inspired, and then would work in a frenzy.

The creation of Adam and the Fall of Man and the Expulsion from the Garden of Eden
1508-1512
The Sistine Chapel is the pictorial culmination of the Renaissance. At 10,000 square feet and taking four years to complete, it chronicles Creation to the Last Judgment. More than 343 figures (Michelangelo estimated 400+) not only tell the story, but add up to a unified, rhythmically pleasing composition.

Michelangelo
Sistine Chapel
The project was physically and emotionally torturous for Michelangelo. Michelangelo recounts its effect on him with these words:
"After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.“

Art of the Northern Renaissance
Jan Van Eyck, Wedding (1434))
The Northern Renaissance was more an improvement on medieval art than a return to classical forms. Northern artists loved details.
Jan van Eyck (b. before 1395 -1441) was a Flemish painter who perfected the newly developed technique of oil painting. His Wedding shows the characteristic medieval attention to detail and bright colors. Apparently women used to wear pillows to their weddings, believing it would improve their chances of becoming pregnant.

Northern Renaissance
Grünewald , Isenheim Altarpiece (1515)
• Matthias Grünewald (GROON-uh-vald) 1470-1528 was a great but mysterious artist (experts aren’t even sure that’s his name – many think it’s actually Mathis Gothart.
• Different from High Renaissance idealism and humanism, however, are Grünewald's uses of figural distortion to portray violence and tragedy, thin fluttering drapery, highly contrasting areas of light and shadow (CHIAROSCURO) “key-air-oo-skur-oh”. “Key-air-oo” clear and light; “o-skur-oo – means dark and obscure.
It is one of Europe’s most powerful masterpieces.

• Dürer came from a Hungarian family of goldsmiths, his father having settled in Nuremberg in 1455.

Christian Humanism Italian Humanists studied ancient
writings, languages and style. Christian Humanists were more
interested in providing guidance for personal behavior and faith.
This Christian work done between 1450-1530 led to many criticisms of the Catholic church which eventually led to the Reformation.
