Italian Renaissance.

Italian Renaissance project?

• For history class i have to do a group project where each group comes up with a proposal of the design a city hall that will be in the city of Milan(I think thats the city) during the Italian Renaissance. Im workin with two other people and the part of the project i have to do is draw sketches of sculptures that could be in the city hall. These sculptures must reflect Italian Renaissance ideas by showing realism and other aspect of renaissance art. So anyways i was just wonderin if anyone can give me an idea of what to draw a sculpture of. thankyou!

• Answer:

  Take a look at photos of Renaissance sculpture at http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/art/ren_italy/ren_sculpture01.html Read and look of pics of work of Donatello (c.1386-1466). the greatest sculptor of the Italian Renaissance, with the single exception of Michelangelo. Though affected by revival of interest in antiquity (a Renaissance idea) he was also original. His work - typical of the Ren. was marked by realism and by an emphasis on the psychological and emotional state of his figures go down to section titled sculpture at http://vlib.iue.it/carrie/texts/carrie_books/gilbert/07.html Examples of his famous works at http://www.artchive.com/artchive/D/donatello.html#images
