City of Florence

Florence is one of the most beautiful cities in the Italian Republic with a population of almost 400 thousand people, which tourists enjoy visiting. Located on the Arno River, it is the center of the Tuscany region and at the same time one of the oldest settlements in the country, where priceless historical and architectural monuments have been preserved. Florence gave the world such great figures as Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo, Dante and Michelangelo. The city is rightly proud that it was its thinkers who gave the green light to the Renaissance.

Slide 6

The 10th century became a turning point in the fate of the Florentines, bringing revival to their city. In 1115, the city became an independent commune, marking the beginning of the statehood of Florence, known as the Florentine Republic. It existed in two large stages: first in 1115-1185, and then in the period 1197-1532.

Over the course of its existence, it changed owners several times and was rebuilt. It is a whole architectural complex. It gained additional fame thanks to the adjacent Boboli Gardens, a magnificent example of landscape art of the legendary Renaissance.

    Slide 9

    Santa Maria del Fiore

    The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (Italian: LaCattedralediSantaMariadelFiore) is a cathedral in Florence, the most famous architectural structure of the Florentine Quattrocento (a generally accepted designation for the era of Italian art of the 15th century, correlated with the period of the early Italian Renaissance).

    Slide 10

    Architecturally noteworthy are the dome, designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, and the outer wall cladding with polychrome marble panels of various shades of green and pink with a white border. The Duomo, also known as the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, was designed so that it could accommodate the entire population of the city (at the time of construction - 90,000 people), i.e. it was something like a huge covered square. The red dome of the cathedral, which has become a symbol of Florence, seems to float over the entire city. Dimensions of the cathedral: length - 153 meters, width in the transept - 90 meters. The unusually elegant and at the same time grandiose cathedral became a kind of boundary that separated the architectural traditions of the Middle Ages from the principles of construction of the Renaissance.

    Slide 11

    The cathedral was built over six centuries under the direction of at least six architects. The cathedral has the shape of a Latin cross, three naves, two side transepts and a semicircular apse. Facade of the Cathedral Bell tower of the Cathedral

    MHC lesson in 10th grade Prepared by the teacher of Russian language and literature Zheltova O. A. The Renaissance (Renaissance)

    ...The time has come: the strings began to sing again, And the colors began to glow from the canvas again. From decrepit Byzantium spring came into life, reminding us of love, of the body; In their creations, Vinci and Rafaeli have exhausted the brilliance of existence to the dregs. Everyone strived to discover, invent, find, create... Hope reigned during these years - to reveal all the mysteries of nature. I. Bunin Epigraph

    Origins of the Renaissance The term "Renaissance" (in French "renaissance", in Italian "rinascimento"), emphasizing the return of the cultural ideals of antiquity, appeared in the 16th century to define the new cultural era that replaced the Middle Ages

    Signs of the cultural meaning of the Renaissance are the flourishing of culture; revolution in culture; transitional cultural stage; restoration of antiquity

    Changes in worldview Renaissance At the center of interests is man Preaching of activity Variety (diversity) Authorship Linear perception of time Humanism Middle Ages At the center of interests is God Preaching of passivity Canonicity Anonymity Cyclicity of perception Asceticism

      Renaissance

      Renaissance, or Renaissance, is an era in the cultural history of Europe, which replaced the culture of the Middle Ages and preceded the culture of modern times. Approximate chronological framework of the era: XIV–XVI centuries. A distinctive feature of the Renaissance is the secular nature of culture and its interest in man and his activities. Interest in ancient culture appears, its “revival,” as it were, occurs—and that’s how the term appeared.

      General characteristics The Renaissance arose in Italy, where its first signs were noticeable in the 13th and 14th centuries, but it was firmly established only in the 20s of the 15th century. In France, Germany and other countries this movement began much later. By the end of the 15th century it reached its peak.

      Early Renaissance The period of the so-called “Early Renaissance” covers the period from 1420 to 1500 in Italy. During these eighty years art was still influenced by the recent past, but tried to mix into it elements borrowed from classical antiquity. Artists begin to use examples of ancient art in their works. Leonardo da Vinci. "Vitruvian Man", 1490

      High Renaissance The second period of the Renaissance - the time of the most magnificent development of its style - is usually called the "High Renaissance", it lasts in Italy from approximately 1500 to 1580. At this time, the center of Italian art moved from Florence to Rome, many monumental buildings were created, magnificent sculptural works were executed, frescoes and paintings were painted, which are still considered the pearls of painting. Sandro Botticelli. Madonna with a Pomegranate, 1497

      Northern Renaissance The Renaissance period in the Netherlands, Germany and France is usually identified as a separate direction and called the “Northern Renaissance”. The traditions and skills of Gothic art were preserved here for a long time; less attention was paid to research into the ancient heritage. A striking example of this period is the Chateau de Chambord. Chateau de Chambord in France, 1519-1547.

      Leonardo da Vinci 1452 – 1519 Artist, poet, architect, sculptor, musician, singer Was interested in sciences: physics, mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, mechanics

      Fine arts Renaissance artists began to use new artistic techniques: building a three-dimensional composition, using a landscape in the background. This allowed them to make the images more realistic and animated. Leonardo da Vinci. Mona Lisa. Fragment, 1503-1505

      Madonna and Child (Madonna Litta)

      Last Supper

      Michelangelo Buanarroti 1475 – 1564 Florentine sculptor, artist Main works - statue of David, painting of the Sistine Chapel, etc.

      Creation of the luminaries

      Raphael Santi Italian artist, architect 1483 - 1520. Famous works – Madonnas, St. Peter's Basilica in Rome

      Sistine Madonna

      Fine arts In the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Titian, Italian painting reached its highest peak. The images they created embodied human dignity, strength, wisdom, and beauty. Raphael. Madonna and Child.

      Madonna Conestabile

      Literature In the literature of the Renaissance, the glorification of a harmonious, free, creative, comprehensively developed personality was most fully expressed. Renaissance literature was based on two traditions: folk poetry and ancient literature, so real events were often combined with fantasy. This was reflected in the most famous literary work of the era - Miguel Cervantes' novel Don Quixote. Illustration for the novel “Don Quixote”

      Literature William Shakespeare 1564 – 1616 English poet, playwright, artist

      Works of Shakespeare Romeo and Juliet Othello Hamlet King Lear Twelfth Night

      Architecture The main thing that characterizes this era is the return in architecture to the principles and forms of ancient art. Particular importance in this direction is given to symmetry, proportion, geometry and the order of its component parts. Renaissance architecture experienced its greatest flourishing in Italy, leaving behind two monument cities: Florence and Venice. Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence

      Summary The theme of the Renaissance is rich and inexhaustible. This is the era of human self-affirmation and his limitless possibilities. The achievements of the Renaissance determined the development of the entire European civilization for many years.
