The Renaissance did not happen overnight—it was a slow but powerful evolution that forever changed the way we see art, humanity, and the world itself. 🌍🎨
In this video, Evolution of the Renaissance, we trace the journey from the early seeds planted by Giotto di Bondone, whose revolutionary use of space and emotion broke away from the flat, symbolic style of the Middle Ages, to the monumental masterpiece of the Ghent Altarpiece by Jan and Hubert van Eyck.
Often called the first great oil painting of the Renaissance, the Ghent Altarpiece (1432) introduced a new level of naturalism, detail, and symbolism that set the stage for the High Renaissance masters: Masaccio, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael.
Along the way, we explore:
How Giotto’s innovations in fresco painting paved the way for perspective and human drama.
Why the Ghent Altarpiece is considered a “gateway” between medieval spirituality and Renaissance humanism.
The rise of linear perspective, proportion, and anatomical accuracy in art.
The explosion of genius in Florence, Rome, and beyond, shaping the Golden Age of Renaissance culture.
By the end, you’ll see how art evolved from sacred flatness into breathtaking realism, giving us some of the most iconic masterpieces in history.
