Venetian school of painting

Venetian school of painting One of the major schools of Italian Renaissance painting. Venetian School of painting arose in the second half of the 15th century, and its rise was inseparable from the economic prosperity of Venice at that time. About in the 13th century, Venice has established the earliest city republic in Europe. In the 14th century, the Republic of Venice was the center of trade between Europe and the East, with concentrated commercial capital and strong national power. The Venetian School became the center of European oil painting creation in the 16th century. As Venice was a commercial republic, it was inevitable that the arts and culture of Venice would flourish to meet the needs of merchants and dignitaries. At that time, painting was exported as a commodity, and the Venetian Republic did not obey the Pope, so artists enjoyed greater freedom in artistic creation, which made it possible for the Venetian School of painting to be born. At that time, painters created art with a strong idea of pleasure, formed the region's unique style of painting, so it is called the "Venetian school". Art is influenced by Byzantium and Northern Europe. Absorbed in the fifteenth century the experience of the Florentine school of Mantanner, through the efforts of the Bellini family, Carpaccio (c. 1465-c. 1526), Antonello da Messina (c. 1430-1479) and others, the use of the government and the church, Scula, in particular, helped develop the art of painting. This school of painting is one of the most distinctive painting schools with other painting schools, it is a new kind of painting art school based on color expression. This school of painting reflects humanism and patriotism. Its paintings have bright colors, plump images and novel compositions, but most of them depict the luxurious life of the ruling class with the theme of religious mythology. They were represented by Giorgio, Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese. Until the 18th century, there were painters such as Tieporo, Canaletto (1697-1768) and Guardi (1712-1793). Their work had a great influence on European painting. The Venetian school showed that painters paid less attention to sculptural forms and hard contours, and more to nuances of color and light. From the very beginning it had a mild lyrical style that was quite different from the Florentine tradition. In short, the Venetian School has the following artistic characteristics: painters pay attention to the color when painting, the color is rich and full of changes, they attach importance to the description of natural scenery; There were more women than men, and angels, Christ and the Virgin were also painted. However, the pictures did not show the miserable and sad faces of suffering. The figures in the pictures were plump and well-dressed, with delicate and white skin, which were regarded as idealized figures. Another characteristic of the Venetian school is that it is highly decorative. Titian was the most outstanding artistic master of the Venetian school, and his artistic achievements made Venetian painting reach its peak. Titian inherited and carried forward the artistic style of the Venetian school, paying attention to the color, brush strokes, modeling and other factors of the works. In his middle age, his painting style was meticulous, steady and cheerful, while in his old age, he used bold, idealistic, bright and magnificent colors. Titian's color is not traditional, not conformist, smooth and free with the pen, his expression of color reached the peak of the Venetian school of painting. The characteristic of his works is called golden tone. Titian's portraits can be said to be a collection of predecessors. He is not only good at shaping the appearance of characters, but also good at digging the inner world of characters. Each of his portraits has distinct personality characteristics and thought-provoking spiritual realm. His works "Goddess of Flowers" based on Roman mythology, the author created a young girl in the world, her image is beautiful, charming, dignified, lofty, the whole picture bright color, composition easy eye-catching, the plump and round body in the painting, showing the fullness and maturity of the light.
