Painters!

We learned about the painters and what they used in their paintings. Hans Holbein the younger started to reflect secularity, or to not us religious themes in the paintings. Pieter Bruegel also took that option and painted the lives of ordinary people, genre painting. Cara vaggio took Leonardo's technique of chiaroscuro and created tenebrism, "dark manner" having light only on what he wants you to see. Artemisia Gentileschi used tenebrism as well but she used the tenebrism to make her paintings very dramatic. In Fra Andrea Pazzo we look at his painting Triumph do St. Ignatius of Loyola and learn that he used quadratura which is used to trick the eye into believing that the architecture of the church, it's columns and arches extend past the actual ceiling. Rembrandt van Rijn takes tenebrism into a new affect in Captian Fran's Banning Cocq Mustening His Company by creating 6D self portrait. Jan Vermeer painting called the Young Women with a Water Pitcher by using light in a scientific while Rembrandt's has more dramatic light. The last painter we learned about was Diego Velázquez which was a royal painter.
