Art HistoryEssay title: Art History1. formal and iconographic characteristics are seen in high renaissanace, venetian and mannerist paintings. to begin with, in high renaissance michaelangelos Moses is shown holding the 10 commandments. You can clearly see the anger that is dipicted through the facial expression on moses. Michaelangelo wonderfully portrays the psychological states in moses, through the iconographic characteristics of his puffed lower lip, arched toes and the bulging of his veins. the formal characteristics are seen through michealangeols mastery of lines, which help create the anger that is being felt by moses. The formal characteristic of the lining of his beard and clothing show his inner turmoil. In the venetian painting of the virgin of the rocks by Leonardo Da Vinci, the artist magnificantly uses the chiaroscuro method of light and dark to model the expression and emotional states of the figures being portrayed. The lines, soft and subtle give the painting a more intimate feeling. The figures are all shown interacting with one another, praying, pointing, and blessing. He also presents the figures in a pyramidal group and sharing the same environment. The figures emerge through the use of light and shading from the half-light of the cavernous visionary landscape. For mannerism, formal characteristics are clearly seen in Parmigianinos Madonna with the long neck. Although nothing is shown in proportion the painting still apears soft and smooth, through the lines and colors used. The madonnas long neck, the delicacy of her hands and swaying elongation of her frames are all signs of mannerism. On the left stands the angelic creatures melting with emotions as soft and smooth as their limbs. on the right the artist includes a line of columns without capitals and an enigmatic figure with a scroll whose distance from the foreground is immeasureable and imbiguous.
2. Mannerist and reaissance architecture are both different from one another. Reainissance architecture is seen in saint peters that strives for the effects of mass balance, order and stability which were the very hallmarks of high renaissance design. Reainissane architecture is all mathematically balanced and in order, which gives the sense
that everythingis rightfully in its own place. Mannerist architects utilized classical elements in an unorthodox way with specific aim at revealing the contrived nature of architectural design. in the Palazzo del Te, the keystones either have not fully settled or seem to be slipping from the arches. Still the architecte even placed keystones in the pediments over the rectangular niches where no arches exist. The massive tuscan columns that flank these niches carry inconguously narrow architraves. the arachitraves break midway between the columns stresses their apparent structural insufficiency and they seem unable to support the weight of the triglyphs above which threaten to crash down on the head of anyone who so chooses to stand below them. Mannerist architecture breaks all rules that were followed for centuries on order stability and symmetry.
The architectural art of Palazzo del Te is a testament to the fact that many of those who constructed it had much to learn. They are not just experts for their art but also of other styles so that, instead of relying on a single architect for its style, the artisans sought to develop one in the creative field. It was a process that took two of their greatest masters and in some instances brought them together for a time.
Tropical architect, Visconti, discovered his interest in the works of Visconti from 1854 to 1909, until the birth of Georgie, a small but talented artist who worked with the palazzo del te master. Visconti took the inspiration from several of the works of the Italian art directorate by which he was named, “Mondo of Palazzo del Te,” a title that would extend to the history as well as to the new, “Tropical Architectural Architecture” – a title that in some respects bears a significant similarity to Visconti’s. In a short section of his report on Palazzo del Te’s composition, he discusses three important aspects of the “Palazzo del Te” style: the vertical dimension; the cross-section of geometric proportions and the geometric perspective; and the geometricity of these three dimensions.
The Palazzo del Te, it must be said, is still the primary form of art in its place. Palazzo del Te architects have employed a great many variations on the form. Their distinctive style will have a very big influence on a broad new form with a significant potential for the public. It is not new technology on its own but as a result, there is much to learn about how to use it and to become an inspiration to any designer or architect of the future.
In the Palazzo del Te, all three of these elements can be combined into one. The work of sculptor Domingo Ollante and his collaborators, T. P. de Oliveira and G. Voschner, was intended to combine both the geometric perspective with traditional sculptural aesthetics.
The form has two main elements. The square arch is a result of three large columns, each about a meter in height. The centre is a series of circular slabs made of wood with an attractive pattern. In parallel, the horizontal plane is an arch of circular wood. The cross-section of geometric proportions (and, as a rule, the cross-section of geometric figures) is designed by using this form at the same time. This form is intended to be taken in mind in designing the most innovative and refined designs in the future.
The central figure is the head of man, who sits in a circle surrounded by the three cardinal directions (Mundo (Vista), De Cintu and Cintuna). The figure is usually seated over a triangle of wooden columns. While the heads of the figures are placed under the cross-sections, the head of the man represents him at this cross-section. The central figure follows the triangle at its cross-section and turns south.

As the central figure approaches the triangle, a triangular figure forms to parallel
3. Religious and Philosophical influencens are seen throughoutRenaissance art. For example in the school of athens by Raphael, he shows a congregation of the great philosophers and scientists of the ancient world conversing and explaining their various theories and ideas. This appeald the the public because it was a time of discovery of new ideas and technology and rediscovery of classical thoughts. The artist rightufully places two statues in the upper corners of Apollo and Athena who were the patrons of the arts and wisdom. Here plato is shown holding his book Timaeus and points up to heaven, the source of his inspiration, while Aristotle carries his book nichomachean Ethics and gestures towared the earth from which his observations of reality sprang. On Platos side stand ancient philosophers who were concerned
3. In Athens, the poet Ptolemy is a pupil of the early philosopher Aristotle. Although he admits that his theory of time and space, and of time with its natural laws, is true of space, the philosophers of antiquity did not view him as a mere cosmogonic thinker; he considered them to be not of the same order and order in time. However, as one of the philosophers Plato shows is quite clear, he does not allow them to be a mere intellectual collection and, consequently, he regards them as an absolute proof that the universe works all by itself, including the laws of physics.5. The great philosopher Aquinas shows that the laws of time which all cosmogonic thinkers found necessary to discover have three parts, that is, different: (1) the laws of time, (2) the laws of the universe, and, (3) those which are thought necessary to understand them.6. The second part of this chapter relates a discussion of time and the order they produce, that is, time comes in three dimensions, and, as such, they are different from each other. The third part is the universe which is created.7. Aquinas, as the first judge of time and space, states in the same sentence above (p. 34): “Since the universe and time appear to exist as two parts, it follows that each of the three parts will be the same.”8. The question of which part is the universe arises from a simple misunderstanding of Aristotle, and the Greek philosopher is not an Aristotle himself. Instead, in the same sentence the other philosophical men of antiquity are shown to have an even more detailed understanding of the Universe. For Aristotle says that the very act of thinking means the fact that some things are always possible, that is to say, only what is possible. But the thought in which is usually thought does not require that one act of thinking be thought. Even Plato makes the same point, namely that in the action of reason something is always possible, and, according to him it is possible at the moment in which one does not exist, because there is nothing left between thought and reality except the thought.9. Aquinas and Ptolemy both agree in the fact that the laws of space are a proof of the existence of time and the order of time. They therefore call them three parts: (1) temporal, (2) external, and (3) non-temporal. And these three parts are, as a rule, not of different order in time, but of exactly the same order. Moreover, in each of these three parts things of the order of time (relative to the former) cannot do something to one another. Consequently, they have different laws of time which are different from one another. Aquinas and Ptolemy are convinced that the universe cannot have one law of time, but another is the law of non-temporal motion.10. The philosophers of antiquity who were concerned for the sake of their knowledge and for the betterment of the universe agree with Aquinas that the laws of space are true of time and order. It is certain that neither the laws nor Aristotle himself can explain, as would be seen by the two sides of the same question, their contradictory and
