written and compiled by Elle Olson If you’re like me and you’ve taken a few too many undergrad courses in art history, you may think you know a thing or two about Renaissance art. Your professors may have told you that there are seven major characteristics of art during the Renaissance. Ideas like Humanism, naturalism, perspective, and a tentative new interest in *gasp* non-religious themes made their debut during this time and apparently changed the evolution of art forever. Now, forget all that other smarty-pants nonsense. Below are the ACTUAL seven themes and characteristics of Renaissance artwork that you WON’T learn in school, complete with photographic evidence. 1. Bad Animals
2. The Annunciation
3. The Christ Child (?)
4. Pietàs
5. Graphic Depictions of the Plague
6. Nakey Venus !
7. Feet Pics
There you have it. The seven characteristics of Renaissance art, summarized and compiled for your convenience. Don’t you feel more culturally learned already? I mean really, who needs Academia when you can find real, true, correct information from us here at Sad Goose instead? You now have priceless, meaningful art knowledge locked away in your lil noggin, all without paying a dime. Go bring up f***ing Titian to make yourself seem sophisticated at opera dinner parties and the like so that you- hold on, I lied, I’ve been informed by a disembodied whisper that it’ll cost you $8,425. Feel free to wire the funds to my venmo @[REDACTED. Anyway, thanks so much, tootles!
