Ghiberti created the Gates of Paradise doors for the Florence Baptistery between 1425-1452. The doors featured numerous sculpted biblical scenes laid out in a grid-like pattern across three horizontal sections. Ghiberti aimed for the greatest richness and perfection in imitating nature, using multiple figures and linear perspective to tell stories from Genesis. Contemporaneously, Masaccio pioneered the use of linear perspective and realistic figures integrated into architectural settings in frescoes like the Holy Trinity in Santa Maria Novella, Florence.

Baroque art and architecture, the visual arts and building design and construction produced during the era in the history of Western art that roughly coincides with the 17th century. The earliest manifestations, which occurred in Italy, date from the latter decades of the 16th century, while in some regions, notably Germany and colonial South America, certain culminating achievements of Baroque did not occur until the 18th century. The work that distinguishes the Baroque period is stylistically complex, even contradictory. In general, however, the desire to evoke emotional states by appealing to the senses, often in dramatic ways, underlies its manifestations. Some of the qualities most frequently associated with the Baroque are grandeur, sensuous richness, drama, vitality, movement, tension, emotional exuberance, and a tendency to blur distinctions between the various arts.
Romanesque paintings are from medieval period, only depicting religious sentiments. Were enormous in size and covered entire church walls.

Introduction to Western Humanities - 7a - Early RenaissanceRandy Connolly
Seventh lecture for GNED 1202 (Texts and Ideas). It is a required general education course for all first-year students at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada. My version of the course is structured as a kind of Intro to Western Civilization style course.
The Renaissance lecture has been divided into three parts. This is the first.
History of western art (Giotto, Masaccio)Annie Najib
Early Renaissance is the era which heralded the age of exploration. Digging into the Golden ages of Greek past civilization, this period added its own interpretation to art as well all other fields that went parallel to it. Early Renaissance provided the first steps towards the high mountain peak of the Renaissance period. Bridging the past values and rich culture of Greece to the neo classical period.
Giotto is propably the first artist to have embraced the change which was needed in art. That's why he is considered to be a "father of Western pictorial art".

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. Ghiberti, Gates of Paradise Doors, 1425-
52
• Organization comparable to Gentile’s
Adoration of the Magi
• Figures against hilly landscape…allows for
multiple characters…covering entire surface
5. • “I was permitted to execute the commission
in whatever way I believed would result in
the greatest perfection, the most
ornamentation, and the greatest
richness…In the stories that called for
numerous figures, I strove to imitate nature
as closely…with all the perspective I could
produce.”
6. Ghiberti, Gates of
Paradise, Florence
Baptistry, 1425-52
Note:
Square format…geometric
simplicity
Three-dimensional figures
in three-dimensional
space
Architecture no longer
frames the figures
7.
8. Ghiberti, Lorenzo (1378-1455),
one of the most important early
Renaissance sculptors of
Florence; his work and writings
formed the basis for much of the
style and aims of the later High
Renaissance.
14. Ghiberti. Jacob and Esau, 1425-52
On the rooftop…God tells Rebecca “Two nations are in thy
womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of they womb,
and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall
serve the younger.”
15. Ghiberti. Jacob and Esau, 1425-52
Rebecca in bed…Jacob and Esau confront each other
(center)…Isaac instructs Esau to go hunting (meat for
blessing)…Rebecca (holds meat) conspires with Jacob
The use of architecture, scaled figures, gridded
pavement…allows Ghiberti to show different chapters of
Genesis in one frame.
19. Donatello…first to demonstrate Brunelleschi’s new perspective.
The marble slab below S. George explored illusionistic
devices…atmospheric perspective. Now he created an interior
layered with hard edges
20. Donatello, Feast of Herod,
c.1425, baptismal font,
Siena Cathedral
Narrative:
R…Salome danced to induce her
stepfather to give her anything she
wanted (musician in center arch)
L…head presented to king
21. E.Renaissance Painting in Florence
Massaccio (Big Tom) established a new
direction in Florentine painting (Giotto) by
integrating monumental and consistently
scaled figures into rational architectural
and natural settings using linear
perspective.
We see a change of feeling from an
interest in purely decorative naturalism to
a new and vivid realism.
22. Chiaroscuro…artistic use of light and shade: the
use of light and shade in paintings and drawings, or
the effect produced by this
23. MASSACCIO. TRINITY WITH THE
VIRGIN, SAINT JOHN THE
EVANGELIST AND DONORS, fresco,
1425- 27/28
Sta. Maria Novella, Florence
• Renaissance interests:
• Realism based on
observation
• Application of
mathematics to pictorial
organization of
perspective
• Where is the vanishing
point?
24. • Holy Trinity provides a vivid example of a
pyramid or triangular composition. Rather
than placing his figures along a horizontal
line, Masaccio linked them in a series of
interlocking pyramids.
• First used by Masaccio, the pyramid
configuration became one of the hallmarks
of Renaissance art.
25.
26. Masaccio’s Trinity and van Eyck’s Ghent altarpiece are
contemporary.
Compare and contrast the two works.
30. TRIBUTE MONEY, c.1426-28, fresco
Masaccio’s figures represent a revolutionary step in Western art—
solid three-dimensional figures, all standing in balanced
contrapposto. A constant light source creates a realistic blend of
light and shade. This chiaroscuro give each figure the illusion of
volume.
34. Masaccio based
his Eve on this
ancient statue of
the Modest
Venus
MASACCIO.
THE EXPULSION FROM
PARADISE, fresco
35. • In about 1428 the artist left Florence and travelled
to Rome where he died at the age of 27.
• During his short life he did not enjoy the popular
esteem given to some of his contemporaries, his
fame was confined to other painters, but his
influence on successive generations of artists is
profound.
• It is said that all the Florentine artists studied his
work, including Michelangelo. His legacy was to
direct Italian Painting way from the Gothic style
and towards a more realistic and natural
interpretation of the world.
