The search for the perfect natural proportions also led the Greek sculpture establish certain standards of beauty that although absolutely naturalists were alienated from everyday reality. The proportions of ideal human bodies were rigid rules, so that the sculptural work was a search and a consequence ofse canons: for example, the height of male body should correspond approximately seven and a half times the height of head (reclaimed wood wall art).
This proportionality reached our days mainly due to conservation of Vitruvian texts during the Middle Ages, although it is likely that different treaties reflect different rules. In field of architecture, the most characteristic buildings of Greek arts are the temples, which are usually classified according to type of plants and order or style columns.
Many elements of Greek and Roman architecture were also adopted, but the great innovation of Renaissance architecture will be the improvement of construction of domes, highlighting the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence. Following the humanistic spirit of period, the arts turned to more secular themes, motifs looking at adding them to Christian themes classical mythology.
This kind of arts is often called Renaissance classicism. The three most influential Renaissance arts are Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Raphael Sanzio, belonging to Italian Renaissance. Another figure equally important but less known Renaissance (in this case, of Flemish painting) is Jan van Eyck, Dutch painter.
Since the fall of Roman Empire, many of arts techniques of ancient Greece were lost, leading to medieval painting to be mostly two dimensional. As there was no notion of perspective in arts, the people portrayed were older or younger painted according to their importance. Along with painting, tapestry was the most important form of medieval arts, considering that the tapestries were necessary to keep the heat inside the castle (built in stone) during winter. The most famous medieval tapestry is the cycle The Lady and the Unicorn.
The Greeks are responsible for a concept of arts that permeate virtually all Western European arts production for over 2000 years. The Greek word for arts, techne, which also means arts or trade, will be associated with the idea of mimesis, which considers that in real world, the arts expression should represent the search for the ideal.
In construction of cathedrals is sought to create a "mystical" feeling inside ofm, ie interiors to recreate a "heavenly" atmosphere, an effect that becomes more noticeable in Gothic sought. One thing to note is the appearance of unions in this period, bringing together arts who held a monopoly on practical knowledge of particular branch of production.
It should be noted that the people in Middle Ages did not have the habit of reading, and very few had access to writing and could read. Therefore, arts was a way to spread in society the doctrine of Christianity. It is difficult to identify individual arts in this period, except for some foreman in architectural construction, and most of works are by anonymous authors. The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci is the symbol of humanistic spirit of Renaissance. The arts of this period A period reflects do arts design features: classicism, reason and symmetry.
