What is the culture of the Renaissance in Italy (its most important achievements in the field of culture and art)?

The culture of the Renaissance was not the property of Italy alone, but it originated in Italy, and the path of its development was exceptionally consistent. Italian Renaissance art went through several stages. Chronologically, the Italian Renaissance is divided into: Proto-Renaissance (Pre-Renaissance) - the second half of the XNUMXth - XNUMXth centuries; early Renaissance - XV century; High Renaissance - the end of the XNUMXth - the first third of the XNUMXth centuries; late Renaissance - the end of the sixteenth century.

The main type of spiritual activity of the Renaissance was art. It became for the people of the Renaissance what religion was in the Middle Ages, in modern times science and technology. Not without reason, in the Renaissance, the idea was defended that the ideal person should be an artist. A work of art most fully expressed both the ideal of a harmoniously organized world and the place of man in it. All forms of art were subordinated to this task to varying degrees.

The aesthetic and artistic ideal was most fully expressed by sculpture and painting. And it is no coincidence. The art of the Renaissance sought to cognize and display the real world, its beauty, wealth, diversity. And painting in this regard had more opportunities than other arts.

The thirst for knowledge, which so distinguished the personality of the Renaissance, first of all resulted in the form of artistic knowledge. The art of that time solved many problems. A new system of artistic vision of the world was developed. Renaissance artists developed the principles, discovered the laws of direct linear perspective. The creators of the theory of perspective were Brunelleschi, Masaccio, Alberti, Leonardo da Vinci. The discovery of perspective was of great importance: it helped to expand the range of depicted phenomena, to include space, landscape, and architecture in painting.

Florence, the most advanced city-state of Italy of the Late Middle Ages, is considered the birthplace of Renaissance art.

The first to take a decisive step towards a new type of art was the Florentine painter Giotto di Bondone, who outlined the path along which its development went: the growth of realistic moments, the filling of religious forms with secular content, the gradual transition from flat images to three-dimensional ones.

The largest masters of the early Renaissance were F. Brunellesco, Donatelo, Verrocchio, Masaccio, S. Botticelli and others. These masters strove for monumentality, the creation of heroic images. However, they were limited mainly to a linear perspective and hardly noticed the air environment.

In the High Renaissance, geometrism does not end, but deepens. But something new is added to it: spirituality, psychologism, the desire to convey the inner world of a person. An aerial perspective is being developed, the materiality of forms is achieved not only by volume and plasticity, but also by chiaroscuro. The art of the High Renaissance was most fully expressed by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo. They personified the main values ​​​​of the Renaissance: intelligence, harmony and power. It is no coincidence that they are called the titans of the Renaissance, meaning their versatility.

Leonardo da Vinci was not only an artist, but also a talented sculptor, architect, musician, engineer, inventor, mathematician, and anatomist.

Another great master Michelangelo Buonarroti combined the gift of a brilliant sculptor, painter and architect. In addition, he was one of the great Italian poets of his time. Rafael Santi was also extremely versatile. He was one of the best portrait painters of the Renaissance.

The term "Late Renaissance" is applied to the Venetian Renaissance. Venice has long maintained close trade ties with Byzantium, the Arab East, traded with India. Having reworked Gothic and oriental traditions, Venice has developed its own special style, which is characterized by colorful, romantic painting. For the Venetians, color problems come to the fore, the materiality of the image is achieved by color gradations. The largest Venetian masters are Giorgione, Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

TV service from Intel 16.03.2012

Intel Corporation, the world's largest chip maker, is developing a television service that will be available to consumers over the Internet, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing a person familiar with the matter.
In particular, the company plans to create a "virtual cable operator" that will allow television networks to broadcast their channels through the global network.

The solution might include a digital set-top box with the Intel logo. It is also reported that the corporation is negotiating with partners (content providers) in this regard. The launch of the service may take place before the end of 2012.

It is noteworthy that at the end of last year, Intel disbanded its Digital Home Group, headed by BBC alumnus Erik Huggers. This group was engaged in the development of products for digital television.
