Venetian Renaissance artist are deferent than Italian artist of the renaissance from the subjects of the art to the color and medium they use. Italian and Venetian Renaissance era goes from the late 14th century to the 16th century, but because most of the Venetian was independent, geographical location and the influence of eastern trade help shape the foundation of Venetian artist. The seclusion of location bounded the Venetian people to trade to other locations it not just gave a pice of culture to other cities but received something from that city. The textures, its rich colors can be a good description on how trade influence many of its artist. I think it’s not just stylistically diverse from each other since both do have not just distinctive painting methods and mediums used on, but they are culturally apart.
Italian renaissance artist favored early classical Greek and Rome styles were they would favor and idolize gods, mythology and religion themes most likely the stories from the Bible. They also believed that natural beauty is the perfection that comes from not just the right portions, but the perfect proportion for the action they making or about to make. Both Florence and Rome were really not a specific kingdom or country but do share the same ideas and principles of natural beauty. It’s style is different from Venetian artist since they favored less religious acts and its scenery. Although they still create the perfect design they don’t do to much disegno, a method of constructing the design in paper to perfection of logic and reason before putting it on final product, but they leave some room in the designing for improvement for later in the process. They also differ because from the Italians base mostly on architectural, indoor, sanctuary, elegant, competition scenes verses Venetian artist favor acadian landscapes, a more outdoor, grassy, natural, backwoods, simple, pastoral settings. But that not all, its cultural style from both sides doesn’t just involved the theme of the paintings but the way they were design. Wood paintings were considered elegant and professional as well as frescos which is panting in the walls. But Venetian artist Tintoretto, also known as Titian perfected the panting on canvases which is what we prefer now days. They also had different perfected brush strokes. Italians used national capital light with direct approach by using tetradic colors like red, orange, green, blue glossy colors. Venetian paints from the dark to the light to create more depth by using analogous colors like red, orange and yellow tones. Both so have strong visual effects in their own way.
Studying these two movements from each other we can conclude that the location, its social environment, political influence and living conditions of people around the artist can interpret in what the design can form. It’s style similarities of constructing accurate anatomical naked human figures can be seen on both timelines. But the usage of makes figures varies from the Italian to Venetian Renaissance. The naked figure composed with cloth figures can symbolize as been innocent as mature or wild With the Venetian art. As in the Italian art naked anatomical figure can be seen as beauty to perfection. It’s cultural influence an trade and independence can see the Venetian who is secluded from other lands were Italians who have there own high position patrons in each city and have a favorite artist that represent the artistic unity of Florence and Rome.
We can say that it was both stylistically and cultural significant in art history. They both have different view points on how they portray beauty and dedication, poetry and storytelling versus strong symbolic meanings. You can tell my not just the theme of the art work but how they present it. Venetian artist favored strong and soft mark approach with impasto paint, fluffy brush work. Its theme choices of scenery can be the representation on how many live back then. Having Venetian be excluded from other cities due to its geopolitical location, the city and its people became crowded and stuffed and it had a city feel to it. To get away from the town and it’s busy scenery many artist admire the outdoor side of Venetian
