FROM RENAISSANCE

TO BAROQUE

THE RENAISSANCE

if the renaissance gave us perspective, color, gradient, depth, and anatomy.

the baroque gave us emotion...

The Renaissance figured out how to build a film set, the Baroque figured out how to frame it, how to light it, how to present it to an audience in a way that the presentation of the subject matter itself tells a story.

Which unlocked everything….

  • Cave Drawings

  • Flat

  • Layered

  • Depth

  • Linear Perspective

  • Realism

  • Start

  • PROGRESS OVER TIME

  • RENAISSANCE

  • BAROQUE

  • EVERYTHING AFTER

Bernini, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Velasquez, and the artists of the baroque, discovered the single most important innovation in art history…

Presentation!

The artists that came after them took that innovation and made shit art. Using it to make up for that fact they had no talent.

But at the peak, the time in art history where artist were the most talented, most devoted, trained to be artisans and nothing else from the age of 8. And where art had reached its maturity, discovering all the tools it would need to fully realize the artist’s vision…

Right at the peak…
