Renaissance Art Paper

Select work of Italian Renaissance art: sculpture, architecture, or painting

Research basic context of work: where it is, why was it made (who commissioned it and why)

Write paper that includes:

• One full paragraph description and formal analysis
• One paragraph describing context of work, who commissioned it, why it was made, how it was displayed

Note: when writing the description and formal analysis, do not refer to the context of the work or the historical importance of the figures represented – just what you see and what you can interpret from that visual experience
