Let Us Study

Renaissance Period Sculpture

Function or Uses
Renaissance artworks play an important role in increasing awareness of
nature, a revival of classical learning, and a more individualistic view of
man.

Elements and Principles:”David”by Michaelangelo

1. Balance and Unity- the body is in an asymmetrical position wherein the

weight is rested on the right lower body while the left part of the body is
slightly curving an S shape. More so, the size of the lower and upper body is
not proportional.
2. Movement- the use of contrapposto. Instead of a rigid pose, the flexed left
arm, the left gaze of the head, and the slightly bent left leg insinuated
movement in Michaelangelo's sculpture of David.
3. Pattern and Emphasis-the emphasis of the entire sculpture was set on the
naked body of David which imparts the notion of “power and stature.” Also, it
demonstrates the subject’s heroism.

2
4. Rhythm- in this sculpture it is expressed through the pattern of well-
defined muscles and the curves of the lines of the body.
5. Contrast-contrast is evident on the treatment of the lower body and the
upper body. At the upper part of the human figure, an elaborate set of details
can be seen such as the lush hair, stern facial features and fully developed
nude torso while the lower body is only accentuated by the male genitalia and
the unbalanced feet posture.

Baroque Period Sculpture

Function or Uses
The Roman Catholic Church highly encouraged the Baroque style to
propagate Christianity while the aristocracy used Baroque style to impress
visitors, express triumph, power, and control.

Elements and Principles: “David “by Bernini

1. Movement-the composition in the shape of interrelated arcing diagonal

lines immediately suggests movement and energy and drama. It also
expresses dynamic and instability of his body movement.
2. Space- Baroque art wants us to be able to relate to the image in our bodies,
not just in our minds. Bernini’s “David” uses the 3 Dimensional form and
space around it—reaching out into the space of the viewer.
3. Emphasis-intense emotion as seen on his facial expression like the biting
of lips and the eyebrows knit together and energy and tension as he launches
the rock.
4. Contrast- because of the intense body movement, the effects of light shows
the contrast between highlights and shadows.

Let Us Reflect

The Renaissance sculpture and the Baroque sculpture help us appreciate

more the deeper meaning of every detail of effort and element done by the
artist in doing their masterpiece. This detail may be seen by other people as
part of the aesthetic process to make it look great, but for the people who take
time to understand these things learn more. Our life is like a masterpiece,
every detail of success and failures, may it be small successes and failures
are very valuable, so we should appreciate and learn from it, for this is how a
true artist should be.
