With Digital NFT Art becoming more and more mainstream, let's look back at our early history of art. Let me know what you think of which examples of art I have chosen from each period. If I left any out please feel free to comment with your favorite's that you love or inspired you in your own art.
Romanesque (100 - 1150)
"The study of medieval art began in earnest in the decades following the iconoclasm of the French Revolution. Art historians in the early nineteenth century, following the natural sciences in an effort to classify their field of inquiry, coined the term “Romanesque” to encompass the western European artistic production, especially architecture, of the eleventh and twelfth centuries." - The MET
Nave of Saint-Sernin in Toulous, France
Gothic (1140 - 1600)
“Then arose new architects who after the manner of their barbarous nations erected buildings in that style which we call Gothic (dei Gotthi).” Florentine historiographer Giorgio Vasari (1511–1574) was the first to label the architecture of preceding centuries “Gothic,” in reference to the Nordic tribes that overran the Roman empire in the sixth century. Vasari implied that this architecture was debased, especially compared to that of his own time, which had revived the forms of classical antiquity. Long since rid of derogatory connotations, the label is now used to characterize an art form based on the pointed arch, which emerged around Paris in the middle of the twelfth century, was practiced throughout Europe, and lingered in some regions well into the sixteenth century." - The MET
The Raising of Lazarus, by Duccio di Buoninsegna
Renaissance (1495 - 1600)
"The Renaissance era was a period of rebirth in almost all the cultural and societal faculties and institutions throughout Europe, including art, science, mathematics, technology, philosophy, religion, and politics, to name a few." - Art In Context
Creation of Adam, part of the Sistine Chapel, by Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni
Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci
Birth of Venus, by Alessandro Botticelli
