Development: Western painting has a similar situation, that is, in the medieval period of ancient feudal society, the cultures of western European countries were completely enveloped by Christian theology, and science, education, literature and art were all religious, and western painting was no exception, serving religion. /kloc-during the Italian Renaissance in the 0/5th century, capitalism sprouted. Although art began to be liberated from the shackles of feudal thought and realistic art emerged to describe social life at that time, it could not completely get rid of the shackles of religion. Portraits are booming, but most of them still draw themes from religion or ancient myths. For example, the Death of Christ and judas kiss painted by Giotto Band-Aid, and. 16th century, during the heyday of the Renaissance, the prosperity of cities led to the prosperity of capitalist art, but figure painting still took religious stories as the theme, but it has taken off the mysterious cloak of God and gained bourgeois thoughts and feelings, such as Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting The Last Supper and Michelangelo Buonarotti's The Last Judgment. The above example, "The Death of Christ" is a religious story, which describes the quarterly arrest and crucifixion. Judas kiss tells the story that the disciple Judas mistakenly asked her for something else before Christ was arrested. The Last Supper is the last supper with disciples before being arrested. The Last Judgment is a religious story that describes some apostles and martyrs who came to Christ for the last judgment. The "Madonna" is a portrait of the Madonna. The so-called Virgin Mary is a Christian title for Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. "The Sistine Madonna" is a religious story, which describes the extent to which the Virgin Mary dedicated her beloved son Jesus to mankind. Representative: Giotto was a pioneer in the history of western art. He was not only the first person who was respected and recognized as a "painter", but also the most influential person in the Renaissance. Ma Saqiao in the early Renaissance and Michelangelo in the heyday both admitted that they were deeply influenced by Giotto, so the later deity Giotto was called "the father of western painting". /kloc-At the beginning of the 0/4th century, Italian artists tried to blend Byzantine rigid artistic style and paint portraits that were more stereoscopic and closer to reality. Giotto inherited these innovative practices and carried them forward. At the same time, he personified the icon with a rigid Goethe style, which made the characters feel more quantitative, the picture began to have a sense of space, and even strode towards naturalism, becoming the founder of the core of European painting. The technology of "wet mural painting" developed quite well later, and it is also one of the most magnificent and important decoration methods in western churches. Giotto is a master of leading the atmosphere and knows this method. It is Giotto who makes Florence, the city of Flora, more charming.
Paul, the father of modern western painting? 6? 1 Cezanne
Cezanne, a southerner of France, was born in Aix-en-Provence. My father was very successful in business, and later he partnered with others to open the first bank in AIX. But the wealth of his family did not make Cezanne live a carefree year. He has been very afraid of his father all his life. Following his father's wishes, he first studied law at the university, but his obsession with painting finally made his father yield, enabling him to study painting in Paris and maintain food and clothing with a little money from his father every month.
His works:
Cezanne has many outstanding works, but the most representative is his still life painting Apples and Oranges (1895- 1900, Paris). This seemingly simple still life painting took the artist five years. The solid fruit sphere embodies the painter's admiration for the basic shape of the world. The sun, the moon and the earth are round. The warm color of the peel even gives people the impression of fruit fragrance. The fruit is surrounded by a simple tablecloth, which is a bit grand; In the middle are simple coarse pottery vases and fruit bowls. After careful reading, human nature naturally converges in this simple picture, such as a simple song and a naive poem.
