	Early Renaissance - Early Renaissance Art
		Early Renaissance, mostly in Italy, bridges the art period during the fifteenth century, between the Middle Ages and the High Renaissance in Italy.
		The term renaissance means rebirth and is used to mark an era of broad cultural achievement as a result of renewed interest in the classical art and ideas of Ancient Greece and Rome.

		Central to the development of Renaissance art was the emergence of the artist as a creator, sought after and respected for his erudition and imagination.
		Because the essential characteristic of High Renaissance art was its unity--a balance achieved as a matter of intuition, beyond the reach of rational knowledge or technical skill--the High Renaissance style was destined to break up as soon as emphasis was shifted to favor any one element in the composition.
		Leonardo is considered the paragon of Renaissance thinkers, engaged as he was in experiments of all kinds and having brought to his art a spirit of restless inquiry that sought to discover the laws governing diverse natural phenomena.

	History of Art:The Early Renaissance
		The term Renaissance was first used by French art historians of the late 18th century in reference to the reappearance of antique architectural forms on Italian buildings of the early 16th century.
		The early Renaissance in Italy was essentially an experimental period characterized by the styles of individual artists rather than by any all-encompassing stylistic trend as in the High Renaissance or Mannerism.
		According to the Renaissance biographer Giorgio Vasari, who wrote a lively and fanciful profile of the painter, Lippi was abducted with some companions by the Moors on the Adriatic, held as a slave for 18 months, and then freed after he painted a portrait of his owner.

	ART 384, ITALIAN RENAISSANCE ART
		Renaissance (means "rebirth") Italians sought to create a new society in which belief in Christianity was tempered by the revival of concepts borrowed from the pagan culture of Classical Antiquity.
		In art, the Italian Renaissance broke away from the abstract formalism characteristic of the Medieval styles of European art, and sought to imitate nature, spurred on by the example of Classical art.

	Early Renaissance Sculpture
		The first notion of the novice in criticism is that art is judged by a certain amount of technical perfection and of positive science.
		It is difficult or impossible to imagine from this point of view why one artist possessing the requisite positive science might not always equal another possessing the same amount of science, and difficult to see why the same talent and the same effort might not always reach the same point of science.
		The answer is that all classic art, whether in music, literature, or design, is conditioned by a sentiment of personal unconsciousness or simplicity and of absorption in the subject matter.

	Early Renaissance Sculpture
		The art of sculpture logically precedes that of painting, for the form must be conceived as a solid before it can be transferred in outline to a flat surface.
		Its main influence was undoubtedly pictorial, and we should consider it the great landmark of the Renaissance art of design in general rather than confine our point of view to sculpture and the canons of Greek relief.
		This art was practiced by several and successive members of his family and flourished till about 1525.

		This triptych, or painting in three panels, is conservative for the time it was painted, but shows the movement toward the new style and incorporates a liveliness not associated with the art of the previous century.

		The Italian Renaissance was born in Florence, and more specifically, according to some scholars, with the 1401 competition for the design of the new bronze doors of the Florence Baptistery -- a competition won by Lorenzo Ghiberti.
		While many artists were involved in the first flowering of Italian Renaissance artistic excellence, the lives and works of Donatello and his Florentine colleagues, Nanni di Banco, Lorenzo Ghiberti, and Filippo Brunelleschi evidence the essence of that 15th century "rebirth" of Classical Antiquity through their sculpture and architecture.
		In the fifteenth century, Italian painting caught up with the stylistic innovations we witnessed in the developments of late Gothic and early Renaissance sculpture.

		In the arts and sciences as well as society and government, Italy was the major catalyst for progress during the Renaissance: the rich period of development that occurred in Europe at the end of the Middle Ages.
		As Gothic painting had been shaped by the feudal societies of the Middle Ages, with its roots in the Romanesque and Byzantine traditions, Renaissance art was born out of a new, rapidly evolving civilization.
		The Renaissance in Italy started gradually, its beginnings being apparent even in Giotto's work, a century before Masaccio was active.
