CHAPTER REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. What are some of
the
artistic and cultural factors that define the High Renaissance?
2. Discuss the compositional arrangement of Leonardo da Vinci’s Last Supper (fig. 22-4). What
is the narrative impact of the arrangement and how does it contribute
to the iconography.
3. What new contributions to portraiture and painting are found
in
Leonardo's Mona Lisa (fig.
22-5)?
4. In what ways does Raphael's School
of Athens (fig. 22-9) in the Stanza della Segnatura (Vatican)
communicate Renaissance ideas both in its subject matter and in its
form (think of both what is represented and how it is represented)?
5. Discuss Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling in terms of its
subject
matter, iconography and illusionism.
6. Summarize Michelangelo’s approach to sculpture (figs. 22-12
through 22-17). Compare and contrast Michelangelo's David with Donatello's David (fig. 21-12) with respect to
subject matter, material, and form. How do their contents differ?
7. Describe how ancient architecture influenced Bramante's design
for the
Tempieto (fig. 22-22)?
8. What are the characteristics of Italian Mannerism in
sixteenth-century
painting? Identify the appearance of these traits in Pontormo's Entombment of Christ (22-42).
Compare this work with Rogier van der Weyden's Deposition (fig. 20-8) in terms of
color, composition and relationship to reality.
9. Discuss the ancient influences on Palladio's Villa Rotunda
Fig.
22-29). What is innovative about the structure?
10. Discuss Michelangelo’s design for St. Peter’s (figs. 22-25
& 26) What were his intentions for the plan, and for the
exterior appearance of the building?
11. Summarize the characteristics of 16th-century painting in
Venice.
