KEY TERMS: ITALIAN RENAISSANCE ART

1. apostolic succession: it is the chain of succession that went from Jesus to his apostle Peter, who is con-sidered the first pope, and from each pope down to the one succeeding him.

2. bottega: the studio of a master artist, in which lesser artists, apprentices, or students learn by participat-ing in the work.

3. camera obscura: A darkened chamber in which the real image of an object is received through a small opening or lens and focused in natural color onto a facing surface rather than recorded on a film or plate.

4. canvas: a heavy woven material sued as the surface of a painting; first widely used in Venice.5. cartoon: A preliminary sketch similar in size to the work, such as a fresco, that is to be copied from it.6. Classicism: the principles or styles characteristic of the literature and art of ancient Greece and Rome.7. cinquecento: the 1500s, or 16th c., in Italian art8. contrapossto: The disposition of the human figure in which one part is turned in opposition to another

of 26

part (usually hips and legs one way, shoulders and chest another), creating a counter positioning of the body about its central axis. Sometimes called weight shift because the weight of the body tends to be thrown to one foot, creating tension on one side and relaxation on the other.

9. di sotto in sù: perspective technique of showing from below,10. glaze: to cover (a painted surface or parts of it) with a thin layer of transparent color in order to modify

the tone.11. horizon line: The horizon line in perspective drawing is a horizontal line across the picture. It is always

at eye level - its placement determines where we seem to be looking from - a high place, or from close to the ground. The actual horizon might not be visible, but you need to draw a 'virtual' horizon to construct a picture in perspective.

12. Humanism: an intellectual movement in the Renaissance that emphasized the secular over the religious. Humanists were greatly attracted to the achievements of the classical past, and stressed the study of clas-sical literature, history, philology and art.

13. ignudi: the phrase coined by Michelangelo to describe the twenty seated male nudes he incorporated into the Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes. Each represents the male human figure at its most idealized, in a sort of blending of ancient Classicism and modern naked super heroes (a topic about which Michelan-gelo could not have known), and none had anything at all to do with Bible stories.

14. Incarnation: In its religious context the word is used to mean a god, or divine being in human form on Earth.

15. linear perspective: A system of drawing or painting in which the artist attempts to create the illusion of spatial depth on a two-dimensional surface.

16. orthogonal: lines that appear to recede toward a vanishing point in a painting with linear perspective17. Medici: Florentine family who supported many artists and writers.18. oil paint: Slow drying paint made when pigments are mixed with oil, linseed oil being most traditional.

The oil dries with a hard film, and the brightness of the colors is protected.19. polyptych: An artwork such as an altarpiece made up of more than three panels or sections, often hinged.20. quattrocento: the 1400s, i.e. the 15th century21. quoins: an exterior angle on the facade of a building that has large dressed stone forming a decorative

contrast with the wall22. rusticate: to deeply and roughly incise stones to give a rough texture to its appearance23. retable (retablo): Structural and decorative elements of an altarpiece, which may include the frames for

painted panels, shelves, ornaments, etc.24. sacra conversazione: an altarpiece in which the Madonna and Child are accompanied by saints and en-

gaged in a “holy conversation”25. Savonarola: reformist monk who became a virtual dictator of Florence26. sfumato: a smoke-light or hazy effect that distances the viewer from the subject of a painting.27. stringcourse: a horizontal molding28. tonal painting: A painting in which color is used sparingly and that avoids the extremes of values. That

is to say, it has a low contrast.29. trompe l’oeil: a form of painting that attempts to represent an object as existing in 3 dimensions, and

therefore resembled the real thing .30. Vitruvius: ancient Roman architect and theoretician whose works influence Renaissance architects31. vanishing point: In linear perspective, a position on a horizon where lines or rays between near and dis-

tant places appear to converge (come together). KEY TERMS
