I have searched the internet but I really have not found any midieval artists. if someone could tell me the artists name and maybe a piece of art they have done I would really appreciate it http://historymedren.about.com/gi/dynami... try here, use the resources tab http://www.metmuseum.org/works_of_art/in... click on the introduction and then you can click on the works of art on the right to see who did them http://www.geocities.com/MedievalArtGall... These links should help you....good luck! An interesting time in art, for sure. Iconography was big...as was manuscript illumination, ivory carving, tapestry work. I'd suggest, if I could, doing the project on manuscripts. The finest examples of the art of the times were found in them...each one a masterpiece that a man dedicated his life to making! Here are the best links I know of for it... http://www.leavesofgold.org/gallery/inde... http://www.getty.edu/art/exhibitions/fre... http://www.netserf.org/Art/Illumination/... This might be a better question in the history section. I have a book called The World's Greatest Art, & there is a ch. on Gothic & Medieval art. They mention several artists & their paintings. I can give u the name of the artist & painting: *Giovanni Cimabue~St. John (born 1240 in Florence, Italy~died 1302) *Giotto di Bondone~Lamentation of Christ (1267~1337) Florence *Duccio di Buonisegna~Madonna and Child (1255~1319)Florence *Andrei Rublev~The Holy Trinity (1360~1430) Russia |
