Artistic culture of the Renaissance.

The Renaissance is one of the brightest periods in the history of the development of European culture.

Renaissance is a whole cultural epoch in the process of transition from the Middle Ages to modern times, during which a cultural revolution (turning point, shift) took place. Fundamental changes are associated with the elimination of the ancient Christian mythological worldview. Despite the origin of the term "Renaissance", strictly speaking, there was no revival of antiquity and could not be. A person cannot go back to his past. The Renaissance, using the lessons of antiquity, introduced innovations. He brought back to life not all ancient genres, but only those that were consonant with the aspirations of his time and culture. The Renaissance combined a new reading of antiquity with a new reading of Christianity. The revival brought these two fundamental principles of European culture closer together.

The concept of "Renaissance" is multifaceted. Those who argue about him did not come to a common opinion. Some consider it "paganism", "anti-Christianity", while others, on the contrary, see it as Christian-Catholic elements, looking for its roots in Christian culture. The attitude to this problem reveals the worldview of the researchers themselves.

Among the definitions of the cultural phenomenon of the Renaissance there is no generally accepted one. Art critics, historians, thinkers, writers offer their explanations for this phenomenon, paying attention to different signs. If we group together many of the most common features, we can understand the cultural meaning of the Renaissance as:

flourishing of culture;

a revolution in culture;

transitional cultural stage;

restoration of antiquity.

Each of these signs can manifest itself independently of the Renaissance, but only their complex forms a qualitatively new stage of culture. European Renaissance - a time of powerful cultural flourishing and restoration of many cultural traditions of Greco-Roman antiquity; decisive cultural restructuring and a transitional stage to a new time in the history of European civilization.

The names of Petrarch, Boccaccio, Brunelleschi, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo can be proclaimed symbols of the Renaissance culture.

The main thing in the Renaissance is the advancement and establishment of the human personality in culture and society, which results in various forms of revivalist anthropocentrism.

There is a formation of the foundations of the new European sense of personality - an autonomous individualistic personality, conscious of its own value, actively acting and experiencing the need for freedom. From this moment on, the human personality, and not the world, not the whole, for the first time becomes the starting point for the formation of a system of perception of the world. This grandiose cultural change takes place in the Renaissance - a new way of worldview was formed in Italy in the first half of the 15th century. The human personality is affirmed in culture. For the first time there was a separation of this personality, its separation from the world.

As a result, the whole world disintegrated into separate individualized things that began to withdraw into themselves. However, in the Renaissance, this process was not yet completed, being limited mainly to man and much less spreading to other things in the world.

The result was the transfer of a person to the center of the material world, which is gradually expanding and overshadowing the upper world, and, consequently, the advancement of the material world to the fore and the transformation of the person himself into an active creative force in him. Anthropocentrism of the first half of the 15th century. brought to the fore not just a person, but a person as an active, active principle.

In this regard, the problem of human dignity was sharply posed, which is established within its framework quite uncompromisingly precisely in the material sense. One of the main values ​​of the revival was the concept of "glory" as a goal towards which a person should move.

As a result of all this assertion of the creative, active material principle, a new image of a person gradually began to emerge, a new type of him - "homo faber" - "man-creator", "man-creator", "man-producer", the essence of which ultimately emerged , into a capacious aphoristic formula: "a man is the smith of his own happiness."

Humanity has its own biography: infancy, adolescence and maturity. The era, which is called the Renaissance, is most likely to be likened to the period of incipient maturity with its inherent romance, the search for individuality, the struggle with the prejudices of the past. Without the Renaissance, there would be no modern civilization. The art of the Renaissance arose on the basis of humanism (from Lat. - "humane") - the current of social thought, which originated in the XIV d-in Italy, and then during the second half of the XV-XVI centuries. spread to other European countries. All major forms of art - painting, graphics, sculpture, architecture - have changed tremendously.

In architecture, creatively revised principles of the ancient order system were established, new types of public buildings were formed. Painting was enriched with a linear and aerial perspective, knowledge of the anatomy and proportions of the human body. The earthly content penetrated into the traditional religious themes of works of art. Interest in ancient mythology and history has increased. everyday scenes, landscape, portrait. Along with the monumental wall paintings that adorn architectural structures, painting appeared, and oil painting appeared.

Art had not yet completely separated from craft, but the first place was already taken by the creative individuality of the artist, whose activities at that time were extremely diverse. The universal talent of the Renaissance masters is striking - they often worked in the field of architecture, sculpture, painting, combined their passion for literature. poetry and philosophy with the study of the exact sciences. The concept of a creatively rich, or “Renaissance personality” later became a household name.

In the art of the Renaissance, the paths of scientific and artistic comprehension of the world and man were closely intertwined. Its cognitive meaning was inextricably linked with sublime poetic beauty; in its striving for naturalness, it did not descend to petty everyday life. Art has become a universal spiritual need.

The formation of the Renaissance culture in Italy took place in economically independent cities. In the rise and flowering of Renaissance art, the Church and the magnificent courts of uncrowned sovereigns (ruling wealthy families), the largest patrons and the customer of paintings, sculptures and architecture, played an important role. The main centers of the Renaissance culture were first the cities of Florence, Siena, Pisa, then Padua. Ferrara, Genoa. Milan and later than everyone else, in the second half of the 15th century, was the wealthy merchant Venice. In the 16th century Rome became the capital of the Italian Renaissance. Since that time, local art centers. except Venice, have lost their former meaning./data/files/s1473707573.ppt (Renaissance Culture)

Renaissance - the era of flourishing of culture in the countries of Western Europe in the 15-16th centuries. In its classical form, the culture of the Renaissance developed in the cities of Northern and Central Italy. The Renaissance was characterized by a revival of interest in literature, art, philosophy of Ancient Greece and Rome. The real world and man were proclaimed the highest value: Man is the measure of all things. The aesthetic ideal of the Renaissance was formed on the basis of a new worldview - humanism (recognition of the value of the human person). The role of the creative personality has especially increased.
