Research

How did the Renaissance influence Italian society in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries?

The Italian Renaissance was an artistic movement, which with its arrival totally the life of Italian society, allowing them to give a better focus on different areas such as the development of art, literature, architecture, music, etc. Eugenio Garín cited "The Italian Renaissance" defines the Renaissance as "the attempts to specify what love is and how its contradictory aspects manifest. For this, the poet will appeal to the expressive power of oxymor and paradoxes: scorching ice, sweet flame, war that gives peace, although few understand that is the rebirth ”.

Before the Renaissance, the conception of the magnificence of the real and mystical universe was foreign to the human being, superior and unattainable, it was only contemplated and admired, however, in the Renaissance this changed, since the gaze of art and even religion, religion,I stop looking at the sky, and step to contemplate questioning, but not only questioned the universe so to speak, he also questioned himself, and being in this position the man reborn, thus beginning in the case of religious painting, to capture a more human God, expressing that, so to speak, it looks like man.

We have been able to see since before the human being has not only sought to expand in political or economic fields but also in art this with the objective that at the time the human being makes art, others feel identified with that painting, musical piece, etc. But what has to do with the Renaissance with art, these two is linked since it is an artistic movement, which is why at this time it is still remembered as a key piece in history, and this has given great social growth,resulting in several artistic advances.

Burckhardt (1860) states:

"In the contemporary plastic world before the historical of a new rebirth-architecture and painting create, but without even finding the point of their new coincidence, given the incomplete and inconsequential character of its conceptions, social and aesthetic, about functionality.".

Where first Marco Historia was in 1475 with the birth of Michelangelhad the same impact as he had in his times.

From the year in which the Renaissance appeared the way people lived had a significant change since more and more artists were appearing, however it is not explained how in the second source, as the Renaissance took place in the first 50 years,The advances in art increased and driven by the potatoes of that time expanded in Italy more easily and since Italian society has not been conformist, they encouraged children and young people to become artistites, architects, poems, etc. Despite this, the Renaissance in Italy came to perfection and this propagation throughout European countries.

The Renaissance, since its creation was subjected by the Church this means that our painters of that time could only paint, or make monuments with religious themes. Since if they painted something else they were seriously punished coming sometimes to kill them.

With the passing of time, the Renaissance had to become independent, to be art and to separate from the Church, and become secular, at this stage, therefore Italian society appears outside the group of faithful religious who through art had to expressHis cult, rather appears as the unique composition of intellectual elements.

The observation is neglected, the real show is never enough, and the painters have already taken situations that passed around and portrayed them on their canvases, base explore the corners of the mind to be able to express the reality that each individual perceives, everythingIt is more due to the imagination than to observation, the painting is more real, more earthly, the beauty of Italian society is rediscovered.

In the case of Italian society, it completely changes its meaning, thought rose to one more, because at the moment the Renaissance religion was separated, people saw that they could not only express themselves in that way, although the rebirth at the time thatHe is dazzled from the Church lost very fans is always remembered as one of the little church that I carry art to perfection.

In the Middle Ages, art was "anesthetic", since its active element was utility, since in painting nature an act of faith was carried out in it, because painting nature was to capture a living being at the service of GodAnd this, in turn, was equivalent to praying, at this time, active life was guided by the contemplative justice and life was guided by prayer, the individual was rebelled to the divine orders, beauty does not exist, only theart owes its existence to utility, in fact if the clergymen were attempt to beautify the churches, otherwise it refers to the Renaissance. "There is no doubt that the Renaissance evolved to a large extent of medieval art, a part of which had not stopped assessing and imitating classical art" 

In the Renaissance, life seeks to divinize, now at this stage, beauty is sought, and the concept of beauty is born as harmony and perfection, now every art is subject to beauty, perfectly, no longer to the Church, evenArchitecture is limited to beauty in this case of course, to utility but more than the usefulness of beauty, ornaments, well -distributed dimensions.

Beauty was achieved or obtained, when there was nothing to add, that is, there is nothing that could make it better on the contrary anything by minimal that would be suggested would be harmful, since the work had already reached its maximum, to its climax. Thus, beauty takes a star role in the conception of the environment that surrounds the individual and to what art will be anchored during the next few years.

In the Renaissance the most outstanding exponents were Rafael, Miguel Ángel, and Ticiano, Alberti and Leonardo da Vinci, of which the idea of beautification of life left, “photography is confined to the logic of the Renaissance, this is a window to theworld, with an observer and a fixed point of view.”To turn a picture into a story, that like the human constitution, the beauty on the proportional, aesthetically.

The Renaissance, I believe came to enslave art, although art was born inside the clergy, it did not have its eternal future there, although the Church had accepted its metamorphosis somewhat I think it would not have expanded enough, but in any of any ofCases The trend of art was to separate from the Church since because it is purely human expression, it must always be independent. "The Renaissance was not a unit phenomenon from chronological and geographical points: its scope was limited to European culture and newly discovered American territories, to which Renaissance novelties arrived late"
