Use the textbook and/or online sources to locate and capture three works of art.

  • one from the Early Renaissance (fourteenth century, 1300–1399)
  • one from the Northern European Renaissance (fifteenth century, 1400–1499)
  • one from the Italian Renaissance (fifteenth century, 1400–1499)   

Your works of art must either be all paintings or all sculptures.

Place these images in a Word document. Then do the following:

  1. For each image identify:

    • The artist
    • Title of the work of art
    • The date(s) it was created
    • The medium or materials used to create the work of art, such as oil paint, marble, etc.
    • Where the work is located now.

  2. In a well-developed paragraph (4–6 sentences) provide at least two important historical facts about each piece that makes the piece important to the history of art.
  3. In another well-developed paragraph (4–6 sentences) based on your personal observations, describe how the artist had depicted the human figure.
  4. In a 6–10-sentence concluding paragraph(s):
    • Compare and contrast how the depiction of the human figure has changed. Be sure to note such things as general appearance of the figures; their body types; whether the figures have been stylized, elongated, or idealized; and whether their clothing, colors, and other visual details have changed.
    • Based on your reading and what you learned from the historic facts you have for each work of art discuss what may have been influencing factors behind these changes. 
    • Offer a citation of your sources for each image and the information provided as appropriate.
