Renaissance Artists

Paper Summary:

The paper discusses the works of Albert Durer, one of the most important figures of the German environment, and the works of Sandro Boticelli, a representative figure of the Italian environment. The paper relates that Boticelli and Durer, despite the fact that they belong to the same artistic era, tend to reflect their understanding of it differently. The paper therefore shows how Boticelli is the symbol of the true Renaissance spirit, while Durer represents the result of both German and Italian influences.

From the Paper:

"The period of the Renaissance is considered by critics to be one of the most important manifests of artistic spirit in the history of our civilization. It represented the breakaway from the middle Ages in terms of art, culture, and conscience. More importantly however, it was the moment in which artists were able to express themselves through their artistic means to such an extent as to perfectly reveal the spirit of the time."
