Chapter 16

               The Renaissance for me this was the best chapter as far as the art goes by a mile I mean

  with great artists like Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello and Leonardo de Vinci to mention just a

  few this chapter was full of breath taking life changing art every time I thought I found my favorite

 work I would turn the page and fine another beautiful work of art what a great chapter a true joy.

              With that said I choose 4 of my favorites to compare this time my 1st choice was Sandro

  Botticelli's The Birth of Venus

     For me this is one of the most beautiful paintings that I have ever seen a true work of art. It is not

 just the beautiful subject of this painting that makes this one of my favorites it is a mix of subject

matter and breath taking color that makes this painting jump off the canvass at me. I compared it to

yet another great work of art Giovanni Bellicelli's Pieta this for me was also very breath taking work

 of it also was very moving to me I could feel Mary's pain that she was feeling and if that is not

powerful I don't know what is. Next up were 2 of the big boys of the art world and 2 of their most

famous works 1st up is Michelangelo's David.

   what can you say about one of the most famous works of art of all time it is wonderful to look at

one of my and many other people favorite works it has stood the test of time as does all great works.

  I compared it to Donatello's St Mark.

 It for me was equal to the power and beauty of the work David. Like I said at the start of this blog

this chapter is full of not only some of the most famous artists the world has ever known but some

of it's most talented and powerful artists.
