The Early Renaissance:
Sandro Botticelli 1445-1510

His most famous work being the Birth of Venus, Botticelli was a late Early Renaissance painter. One of the notable features of his work is that it's very linear, the lines and shapes distinct, we also see a departure from the earlier style in the revival of Classical themes; nevertheless, they do not quite have the maturity of later Renaissance paintings, they maintain a certain Byzantine element.

The High Renaissance:
Raphael Sanzio 1483-1520

One of the greatest Masters of the High Renaissance, Raphael was revered by later artists who held his work as the height of Western art (hence, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood). He led a varied, though short, life painting the Madonnas and frescoes he is perhaps best known for, and even conducting archaeological research in Rome.

The Northern Renaissance:
Hieronymus Bosch 1460-1516

The bizarre and surreal Dutch master of the Gothic-tinged Northern Renaissance, Bosch is best known for his triptychs like the Garden of the Earthly Delights. His works, while skilful and well-done, like the Northern Renaissance masters in general, have a more stylised and Mediæval appearance than most of their counterparts in Italy at the time.

I love Bosch. I think he got a kick out of doing 'porno' under the guise of religious opprobrium.

He is so bizarre, such a precursor to the Modern, especially the Surrealists I think. Centuries ahead of his time.

As is another strange artist of the late Renaissance Mannerist period, Giuseppe Arcimboldo:

I'm not much for Bosch, myself. I've always used Champion or Motorcraft, but Bosch build a plant near South Bend, on the old Studebaker proving grounds.

Some Early Renaissance sculpture perhaps?

Donato di Nicolo Bardi 1386-1466

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/equinoxe/St_Mary_Magdalen.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/equinoxe/DONATELLO_Hope.jpg

Better known as Donatello, Donato di Nicolo Bardi was a brilliant sculptor of the Early Renaissance period; take for example, these two works, St. Mary Magdalen and Hope. The former, a wooden sculpture, is very stark, she is clothed in rags pleading for her salvation, the latter a bronze statue of an angelic figure looking up to the sky, a hopeful gaze apropos it's title.

Giotto di Bondone 1267-1337

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/equinoxe/Giotto_The_Epiphany.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/equinoxe/Giotto_Pentecost.jpg

A very early artist, pre-dating what is generally thought of as the Renaissance period, but grouped within it as its first genius, we have Giotto. As in the above examples, The Epiphany and Pentecost, he dealt primarily with religious subjects and his work still has many of the features we would associate with the Byzantine and Gothic art of many contemporaries and predecessors, but we begin to see the formations of the ideals of the Renaissance artists.

I'm glad that you enjoy them. I enjoy making them, although they are probably the most work I've ever put into posting at Lit.

I can see how it would look like an album cover, it really doesn't seem like a painting from the 16th century.

Rogier van der Weyden 1400-1464

Portrait of a Woman

Another master of the Northern Renaissance, Rogier van der Weyden was a Belgian painter of the 15th century. His works are less surreal than those of Bosch, to be sure, he worked in the more earthly realms, creating wonderful portraits and religious scenes. The Gothic influence which so distinguishes the Northern Renaissance from it's southern counterpart is clear in his work, with a somewhat stylised representation of individuals.

I adore renaissance art. This was back when you had to be able to paint to be an artist. I walk into the National Gallery in London and walk out on top of the world.

Renaissance art is what got me interested in art as a child, the masters of the High Renaissance in particular. In fact, the second Raphael posted, the Alba Madonna, may be the painting which inspired my fondness for art.

Got back from Amsterdam Saturday night. Even though they're doing up the Rijksmuseum, it's still worth a visit. More Rembrandts than you can shake a stick at. And the van Gogh is just down the square.

Titian 1485-1576

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/equinoxe/Titian_Mary_with_the_Christ_Child.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/equinoxe/Titian_King_Philip_II.jpg

As he has been named, here are a couple of the works of Titian: in the first, Mary with Christ Child, we see a serene, pleasant scene of the Madonna and Child, he seems almost shy, clinging to his mother and looking away from the viewer, and in the second, a portrait of King Philip II, the King stands tall, young but stately, dressed in ornate armour -- the ruler of Spain at it's height.

I suppose it does depend upon what one considers gorgeous, but here are some lovely ladies as painted by Titian:

A few more works, by Giorgione and Bellini (notice the vividness of the colours in the second Bellini), fairly typical examples of the High Renaissance.

Someone posted a thread last night about Bauhaus. I may have been slightly dismissive. If it was you I apologize.
