Talk about the achievements of the Renaissance in the art of sculpture

1. Ancient Greek art emphasizes the artistic principle of combining idealistic techniques with realistic style, and the statues of Kros and Koli in the ancient style often have an archaic smile. The sculptures of the early classical period also have a simple and rigorous style, such as the spear bearer, the discus thrower, and the Delphi driver; The statues of the high classical period most perfectly embody the artistic ideals of the ancient Greeks, in the words of the eighteenth-century German art historian Winckelmann, that is, "noble simplicity and quiet greatness", the most representative is the sculpture of the Parthenon; The sculpture of the late classical period fully inherited the achievements of the sculpture of the high classical period, and the artist also carried out a series of creative explorations and attempts in artistic creation. They pay more and more attention to technique, pursue a sense of form in their works, and strive to give their works more sensory beauty, but also express their unique emotions.

In the Hellenistic period, there was more of a tendency to reflect reality, and the tendency of realism increased, while idealism decreased, such as the statue of Demosthenes, Laocoon, and the altar of Zeus. The Renaissance was a great intellectual and cultural movement in European history, in this period of revival, people and the real world were re-focused, and the resulting humanist ideas became a powerful force against the medieval religious theocracy, and played an important role in the birth and establishment of the new world. In Italy, new ideas and spirits were most brilliantly embodied in the field of fine arts, and the basic principles of classical art, with a reproducible tendency, established by the Italians, have influenced the development of European art for centuries to come.

Renaissance sculpture, in essence, embodied the spirit of humanism, and people began to realize their own beauty, and began to revive the artistic technique of ancient Greece with a strong representation of objective things. They pursued the kind of illusionary effect that the ancient Greeks had pursued, allowing people to regard art as a portrayal of real life, as something that could be felt, touched, and known.

In ancient Chinese history, very important achievements have been made in the art of sculpture, among which are:

2."Giant Spirit God Annihilation of the Ming Hall": Created by Liang Zhuzong of the Southern Dynasty, it is one of the main representative works of Buddhist sculpture art.

3.Luoyang Gate: Also known as"Establish a prince"It is a large stone arch built in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is divided into four in total, and is the object of imitation in later generations.

4.Chengdu Giant Panda Statue: Jointly produced by Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics and Sichuan Tourism Group in 2000, it is one of the cultural symbols of Chengdu and an important symbol of Chinese culture.

During the Renaissance, perspective painting became one of the most striking discoveries in the art of the time. Perspective painting is an artistic expression technique that uses the optical illusion principle of line and plane convergence on a two-dimensional plane to depict three-dimensional objects.

Perspective painting has its origins in the history of European painting, and its expressive style has gone through the pre-Renaissance, classical Renaissance, Mannerism, then Baroque and Classicism, Rococo, Neoclassicism, Romanticism and the Sublime, until Malevich's "White Square on a White Background" put an end to all this.

Further Material: The Renaissance refers to a European intellectual and cultural movement that took place between the 14th and 16th centuries and reflected the demands of the emerging bourgeoisie. At that time, it was believed that literature and art were highly prosperous in the classical era of Greece and Rome, but they decayed and disappeared in the "Dark Ages" of the Middle Ages, and it was not until the 14th century that they were reborn and revived, hence the name "Renaissance".

The Renaissance first arose in the Italian city-states and later spread to Western Europe, culminating in the 16th century, bringing about a period of scientific and artistic revolution that opened the prelude to modern European history, and is considered to be the boundary between the Middle Ages and the modern era. The Renaissance was one of the three major emancipation movements (Renaissance, Reformation and Enlightenment) in modern Western Europe.
