History of Art | February 14th - Period 3

[autolycus-kot.livejournal.com]

Autolycus stood at the front of the class rubbing his hands together. The typical sheaves of handouts at the front of the class.

"The art period known as the Renaissance was part of a greater cultural change occurring throughout Europe over a period of approximately two centuries.

"Some of the notable painters of the time were da Vinci, Raphael, Botticelli, van Eyck, Bosch and Drüher.

"Alright, for your homework this week I want one hundred words on the Renaissance artist of your choice. You have the rest of the class period to work on it and discuss with your classmates.

"Also you have a midterm coming up, so remember to go over your notes from previous classes."

Re: 100 Words - Renaissance Artists

Hieronymus Bosch was a prolific Dutch painter of the 15th and 16th centuries. Bosch used images of demons, half-human animals and machines to create some pretty bizarre painings that were meant to represent the failings of man. And I mean really bizarre. And I say that as someone who goes to Fandom High.

I mean, we're talking a stomach turned into an instrument of some kind, and someone's rib cage as an apartment, and bird-headed creatures eating people like popsicles. I mean it's pretty clear this guy was high on some serious drugs, and really I hope the paintings are worth a lot on the open market because I wouldn't want to have to keep one around any longer than I absolutely had to.
