The Most Influential Era of Arts and Design!!

                                          The Renaissance and The Last supper 



 
      I chose The Renaissance as the most influential
                        era of arts and design.
First  these period roughly from the 14th to the 17th century, beginning in Italy.
The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life in the early modern period. During the Renaissance, money and art went hand in hand. Artists depended totally on patrons while the patrons needed money to sustain geniuses.

 The Last Supper is the final meal that, according to CHRISTIAN belief, JESUS shared with his APOSTLES in JERUSALEM before his CRUCIFIXION.






I chose this period as the most influential era of arts and design simply because this arts or painting reflect that The Last Supper is one of the earthly life of Jesus Christ that are recorded in the Bible. This description of the last meal Jesus Christ had with his disciples prior to his arrest and crucifixion on a roman cross about 2,000 years ago. It is contains many significant principles, and continues to be important part of CHRISTIAN lives throughout the word.


That's way The "Last Supper" does not appear in the NEW TESTAMENT. However, the  traditionally, many Christians refer to the New Testament accounts of the last meal Jesus shared with his disciples as the Last Supper. The Last Supper was likely a retelling of the events of the last meal of Jesus among the EARLY CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY, and became a ritual which recounted that meal. I also learned that this Art was a dramatic painting for me.

Mona Lisa !!

Mona Lisa is quite possibly the most well-known piece of painted artwork in the entire world. It was painted by the infamous Leonardo Da Vinci, an Italian artist.




Leonardo Da Vinci was an Italian Renaissance polymath a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and lastly writer. His genius perhaps more than that of many other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of Renaissance Man, a man of " Unquenchable curiosity" and " feverishly inventive imagination".

Leonardo was renowned as primarily as a Painter. Among his works, The Mona Lisa is the most famous and most parodied portrait.

 It is perhaps the most studied piece of artwork ever known. The subject’s facial expression has brought about a source of debate for centuries, as her face remains largely enigmatic in the portrait. Originally commissioned in Italy, it is now at home in the French Republic, and hangs on display in the Louvre in Paris.

It is unusual in that most paintings are commissioned as oil on canvas, but the cottonwood panel is part of what has attributed  to the frame of the painting. because of the medium used for the image, The Mina Lisa has survived for six centuries without ever having been restored trait very unusual when considering the time period of the piece.

Mona Lisa Gherardini was born on 15th june 1479, in Florence, in a small house on the corner between via Sguzza and via Maggio, which her father Antonmaria rented by Ciovanbattista Corbinelli.
In April 1494, Gherardini family moved to via Pepi, near vai Ghibellina and the house of ser piero da Vinci, famous notary and fater of Leonardo da vinci. A year later, in March 1495, Mona Lisa married Franceso de Giocondo, a rich silk merchant of Florence, and moved into his building in via della strufa, near Sant'Orsola Convent and San Lorenz Church.

Lisa had six children, three sons and tree daughters : Piero, Piera Camilla, Marietta, andrea and Giocondo, but Piera lived only two years, Camilla 19 and giocondo one month. Francesco del Giocondo died in Florence in 1538 and he was buried in the family tomd, built by himself into a Chapel behind the High Altra of SS Annunziata church. After Francesco's death, Lisa retired into Sant'Orsola convent, where there was the daughter suor Ludovica, and where she died was Burried on 15th july 1542. Giuseppe Pallanti
