Albrecht Dürer, Self-Portrait, 1498, 52 x 41 cm, Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado

He was a very original artist, who enlarged the expressive possibilities of image-making. He was also the first Northern European artist to have a deep and first hand knowledge of the Italian Renaissance.

Dürer had a very high opinion of himself and portrayed himself often. Here we see him not as an artist, but fashionably outfitted, with expensive clothes. Even though artists and artworks were highly appreciated by princes, there was a strong prejudice against them in many circles, especially among the aristocracy. Dürer fought hard against this.

This portrait, where he shows himself not as a painter but as a gentleman, is an example. The fame that he attained would be used by later painters in their own struggle for recognition.

Happy 568th Birthday to Leonardo DaVinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) who has been variously called the father of palaeontology, ichnology, and architecture – and is widely considered one of the greatest painters of all time. Sometimes credited with the inventions of the parachute, helicopter and tank, he epitomised the Renaissance humanist ideal. #leonardo #leonardodavinci #davinci #monalisa #renaissance #renaissanceartists #renaissanceman #fineart #fineartist #arthistory #painting #inventor #humanist #artsandscience https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Awk9QD6GM/?igshid=vonwi27eeq7v

Some slight work... “I intertwine my intimate femininity in the lines of your soul, my curves eclipse your mind and take you to a time when you had access to my heart and physical form. We mourn the love that once was the desire that flowed like rushing water. We created our on waves and the splashes nourished the soil close by. We sprouted and reached for the sun growing in the ever blowing breeze. Our love left us collapsed amongst the grass as bees traveled and pollenated the near by flowers. Our love was wild and inspiring striking as the silhouettes of our bodies intertwined as the sunset casted shadows on the evening sky of our faded love that is no more. It has moved on from here like the seasons creating new opportunities and reason to plant our feet in new soil and new connections our paths have taking us paradigms of different directions. I hope you learned your lesson.” Words written by @daartistznt #artist #creative #lover #poet #spokenword #renaissanceartist #mixmediaart #figurepainting #bostonartist #performanceart #zntarts #zahirahnurtrutharts #complimentarycolors (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_k9MC6nu_Q/?igshid=opu2waw1adxh

…It was really apparent to me from our first meet up (with @artybraud ) which was an urban hike through the Boystown neighborhood (Chicago) that took upwards of 2-3 hours, and I was so intrigued because he's a multi-disciplinary artist who does it all, has a free nomadic soul that I completely relate to, and thinks about things profoundly. Highlights of this upcoming conversation includes (1) an analogy of why it isn't healthy to draw all your energy from one thing or hobby similar to how you shouldn't depend solely on one person, (2) upcoming travel plans to California and an extended work from home situation in Mexico, (3) Arty's potential future business plan for a creative space in Chicago, (4) my top cities I've traveled to and what is the commonality between them, and (5) are we actually insane? ⚡️

Episode 002 w/ Arty Braud 🛋🎨📸 interior designer, painter, photographer and nomad + asking: are we actually insane??? 🎙 OUT NOW! 🎙

15th April 1452, birth of Italian Renaissance polymath Leonardo da Vinci, best known as an artist and inventor, whose other interests included sculpture, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, paleontology, and cartography. Da Vinci received no formal education, and all his mastery of these various interests were self taught. His inventions and studies included a parachute, a giant crossbow, a mechanical knight, an underwater breathing device, a diving bell, and various flying machines. His study of anatomy led him to replace in one cadaver all the muscles for strings to ascertain how the muscles worked. Due to Da Vinci’s association and apprenticeship to Andrea del Verrocchio, both he and Verrocchio were considered as alchemists. The claim that Verrocchio was an alchemist was first made by Giorgio Vasari, in his ‘Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects’ published in 1550. 16th April 1446, death of Italian architect and designer Filippo Brunelleschi, founder of Renaissance architecture, and designer of the dome of Florence Cathedral. After a tour of the ancient ruins of Rome in 1402 to 1404, possibly with his friend Donatello, Brunelleschi began the first serious study of the ruins. This led him to win the Florentine competition to design the cathedral’s dome in 1418. The design was made up of two domes, one inside the other that later would be copied in the United States Capital in Washington.

The perils of being a #renaissanceartist - meaning in this case, the love and focus on all art and learning. Instead of drawing or painting or working towards getting a cohesive anything, I spent the weekend working on a movie trailer. I say instead, but actually this is 8 years overdue. People are going to be shocked at what has been dug out of the archives and is about to make an appearance on their screen. ⁠⠀ #filmmaking #music #videographer #cinematic #filmphotography #love #camera #documentary #directorofphotography #filmmakinglife #canon #moviemaking #ashevilleartist #videomaker #sony #actors #horror #artist #drama #director https://www.instagram.com/p/B4v6deMBSM7/?igshid=2si43wp5fprv

Caravaggio, The Inspiration of Saint Matthew, 1602-1603, 295 x 195 cm, Rome, Church of San Luigi dei Francesi, Contarelli Chapel

One of the legs of the bench it's not leaning on the floor. The man could fall at any moment into the place where we stand. This is a trick by Caravaggio, to make the scene seem real. The first version of this picture was rejected by the church for which it was made, because the saint seemed too common; almost brute, the second version; he had to make it less radical for the painting to be accepted.

In this picture something unexpected; in spite of this reputation for being a non-idealist, in spite of his taste for common types, the search for beauty is a key aspect of his art. Here, in the beautiful contrast between the dark background and the orange drapery and also in the figure of the angel and the swirl of the white cloth around him. 

In many paintings by Caravaggio there is a peculiar combination of a raw directness and a very subtle sense of beauty. The result is a kind of beauty that's new to painting.
