Planche de la Suite du Triomphe de Cesar. Art Italien, XVe Siecle, Fine Print. The Italian Renaissance: 15th century. The schools of Central Italy and Northern Italy. Literature: The Italians of the 15th century opened the domain from art to nature and contemporary life. But Italy milk in its historic soil of secular master pieces that northern countries did not know. As soon as the tradition of Middle Ages lost its vitality, Italian artists learned. To look at the ancient models. Antiquity resurrection unites with the resurrection of life to inaugurate the game Fertile and wonderful renewal which was the session of the 15th century. In this happy period, art had for homes, as in14th century, Florence and Tuscany. But he spread in the whole peninsula, and magnificent flowering appeared in Bandie and around Venice. To embrace all the artisttick of Italy in the 15th century, it is necessary to consider successively central Italy and northern Italy. A sudden and total revolution is accomplished from the start from 15th century for architecture. The innovator was the Florentine Filippo Brunellesco (1377-1446). Antiquity turned out to him in a pilgrimage he made at the ruins of Rome. He returned to Florence rich in notes and drawings. He renewed both architecture religious and civil architecture, while returning, beyond the Middle IGE, in the first Christian centuries and antiquity Roman. The San Lorenzo church, the parish of the Medici, was a Basilica with monolithic columns. These are clear and cold buildings, of exquisite proportions, enlivened by a polychromy ingenious. Palaces, on the contrary, massive and powerful, still have the robust pace of the for tresses municipalities of which Arnolfo di Cambio had given the superb Model at Palazzo Vecchio. The Pitti palace, raised on the drawings de Brunellesco, adds to the severe lines of a public palace in the XIV century the majesty of a large device, raised on a pedestal of bosses rocks, worthy of the most colossal constructions of Rome.

Very Good.
