Political figures in art has always been an important part of our history, culture and artistic representation, Roman and Byzantine art is a classic case of these representations. The Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius and Justinian as World Conqueror are two examples that demonstrate the power and prestige of these political authorities.

People have told stories with marble, as well as ink. The focus of the Renaissance was the arts. Artists had evolved their skillsets since the Middle Ages, for example, their paintings weren’t 2D and they focused on people rather than just gods. The detail of sculptures and paintings became more realistic than it had been during the Middle Ages. In Michelangelo's sculpture David completed in 1504, he sculpted an image of David from David and Goliath holding a slingshot, before he kills the beast with a stone.

there were numerous differences between art in the Italian renaissance and the Northern Europe renaissance. While Italian artists were known for their cultural achievements, Northern artists were known more for their rapid development in the arts. Italian artists created detailed human figures that were symmetrical, balanced, and maintain a linear perspective, whereas Northern artists created landscapes and paid more attention to surface detail. Italian artists focused their work mainly around classic mythology and scenes from the bible. Northern artists also worked on religious scenes, but they also incorporated detailed domestic interiors and portraits.
Michelangelo was the first Italian artist to depict the duo in such a position. Furthermore, Michelangelo differed from previous
At age 17, Michelangelo had begun to dissect corpses from the local church graveyard to gain a much deeper understanding of the human body. Michelangelo had to be extremely cautious when examining corpses seeing as the act was strictly banned by the church, making the act illegal. Nonetheless, Michelangelo still had an amazing understanding of the human body and its proportions were extremely critical to his success rate as a sculptor and artist. Michelangelo’s incredibly realistic sculptures showed finely chiseled veins, wrinkles, muscles, bones, and nerves. Such skill was and still is unsurpassed till this day in the 21st century.

The Lamentation vs The Deposition Art is a practice that is constantly evolving around the world. Art practices during the Renaissance in Italy and in Northern Europe depict similar themes, but artists express their understanding of narratives differently. Giotto di Bondone, an artist during the Renaissance in Italy, and Rogier van der Weyden, an artist during the Renaissance in Northern Europe, depict the crucifixion of Christ in two similar, yet distinct manners. Giotto created The Lamentation in 1305 and van der Weyden created The Deposition in 1435. The strategies each artist uses in their work highlight the important factors that influenced artists in each region.
¬¬As Michelangelo’s David is made in years 1501-04, and is detailed from the penetrating veins, furrowed brows and the muscles, we can know that this sculpture was made during the High Renaissance, as in this period it is known to be during fifteen hundreds, and that in this period they make their art more detailed than in ancient Greek and Rome to make it look more realistic. On the other hand as Bernini’s David is made during 1623-24, extra details in both face and drapery, and the movement depicted, we can know that this sculpture was made during baroque art period, as in this period they used exaggerated motion and details to produce drama, tension, and grandeur in art, and is known to be during sixteen hundreds. In conclusion, as Bernini’s David is made during the Baroque period, where it used to be more detailed and highlights motion, as we noticed in the sculpture; unlike Michelangelo’s David which is made during the renaissance period, where it used to be detailed but not much and didn’t depict movements. From those differences that are between both sculptures and there periods we can determine that Bernini’s David is more expressive than Michelangelo’s
At the first glance of two pieces of art, a viewer might have a hard time distinguishing similarities and differences between the two, but Wölfflin’s principles opens up a proper analysis to view resemblances and distinctions that reflect the artworks. In Rapheal’s “School of Athens”(1509) and Perugino’s “Delivery of the Keys”(1481), Wölfflin’s principles can be applied to point out clear contrasts between the two pieces of art. Through Wölfflin’s principles, “School of Athens” can be categorized in the principles of painterly, recession, open form, and unity while “Delivery of the Keys” can be categorized into his principles of linear, planar, closed form, and multiplicity. Focusing on the distinctions between linear vs. painterly, Raphael’s and Perugino’s paintings fall into different ends of the spectrum. In “School of Athens” by Raphael, the characters seem to mix and blend in with each other.
