Dynamic suggests that there is contrast, that it does vary or change. I hope this will help you in terms of your report. During the Middle Ages statues were very stiff looking and always well contained within a certain space. They could be defined "static". In the Renaissance the Baroque style developed. Everything in it suggests movement: statues protrude from their niches or stand free on top of buildings, the vestments fluctuate (think of Michelangelo's Pietà , for instance" The floor of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice is laid so that it looks like a moving spiral. Nothing could be more dynamic. |
