Describe the different scientific elements in the work of sixteenth century Italian artists.

Answer»
  • Artists wanted “perfectly proportioned men and women” in their sculptures. 
  • They took the help of scientists to reach perfection.
  • Painters knowledge of geometry and changing quality of light helped them to acquire a three dimensional quality. 
  • Many artists like Leonardo da Vinci studied human anatomy so as to make their paintings and sculpture realistic, 

e.g : The statue The Pieta by Michelangelo. 

  • Thus, anatomy, geometry, physics as well as a strong sense of beauty, gave a new quality to Italian art.
