Have you ever done it?
00:00:06

00:00:07
Don't worry, it's not very difficult,
just a bit challenging. 00:00:09
just a bit challenging. 00:00:09
The only thing you need to know
is the different steps I'm giving you 00:00:13
is the different steps I'm giving you 00:00:13
in this guide and also look
carefully at the masterpiece. 00:00:19
carefully at the masterpiece. 00:00:19
To make it even easier,
00:00:25
I have created this video to help you
and give you the instruction needed. 00:00:26
and give you the instruction needed. 00:00:26
To begin with, it's important to remember
00:00:32
that to comment a piece of art,
we need to cover three main points. 00:00:36
we need to cover three main points. 00:00:36
Identification, analysis, and context.
00:00:41
Each one is crucial in the commentary,
so let's start. 00:00:45
so let's start. 00:00:45
The first part is identification.
00:00:51
It's like the idea of a piece of art.
00:00:55
They're very basic details such as name,
00:00:59
author, date when it was created,
location, and the artistic style. 00:01:03
location, and the artistic style. 00:01:03
Obviously, you need to do some
research to find these details. 00:01:10
research to find these details. 00:01:10
Here, there is example of a piece of art.
00:01:15
In this case, the title is David,
the author, Donatello. 00:01:21
the author, Donatello. 00:01:21
The date it was created
between 1430 and 1440. 00:01:27
between 1430 and 1440. 00:01:27
The location it's in Florence
in the Bergalo Museum, 00:01:33
in the Bergalo Museum, 00:01:33
and the artistic style is the Renaissance,
exactly the quattrocento. 00:01:37
exactly the quattrocento. 00:01:37
For you, it's going to be a bit tricky
to know the artistic style 00:01:44
to know the artistic style 00:01:44
since the Renaissance is the only one
we have studied so far in this unit. 00:01:50
we have studied so far in this unit. 00:01:50
But it's very important to distinguish
between the two periods 00:01:56
between the two periods 00:01:56
of the Renaissance,
quattrocento and King Quattrocento. 00:02:01
quattrocento and King Quattrocento. 00:02:01
To know it.
00:02:06
You just need to see what's
the century in which it was created. 00:02:07
the century in which it was created. 00:02:07
If it was created during the 15th
century should be Quattrocento. 00:02:13
century should be Quattrocento. 00:02:13
Or if it was created during the 16th
century should be King Quattrocento. 00:02:18
century should be King Quattrocento. 00:02:18
Another way to know it is try to find
in the present presentation of the unit, 00:02:25
in the present presentation of the unit, 00:02:25
the modern age, to which period the author
belongs to, and you can get it. 00:02:31
belongs to, and you can get it. 00:02:31
The second part,
00:02:40
and the one that shows your real
knowledge of the unit, is the analysis. 00:02:41
knowledge of the unit, is the analysis. 00:02:41
There are two types of analysis,
technical and thematic. 00:02:46
technical and thematic. 00:02:46
We're starting by the technical features.
00:02:51
They include the artistic elements you are
seeing in the image, for example, 00:02:55
seeing in the image, for example, 00:02:55
the material used, the main colors,
the expression, etc. 00:03:02
the expression, etc. 00:03:02
As well as the techniques used
00:03:07
by the author in the shape or
in the depth of the figure. 00:03:10
in the depth of the figure. 00:03:10
However, the analysis for an architectural
00:03:15
building is not the same
than for a sculpture or a painting. 00:03:19
than for a sculpture or a painting. 00:03:19
That's why I have created this table
00:03:24
to get to know the features
to command characteristic field. 00:03:27
to command characteristic field. 00:03:27
Let's see the example.
00:03:33
In this table, there are three columns
00:03:36
and you need to focus on just the points
in each column depending on if you are 00:03:38
in each column depending on if you are 00:03:38
commenting an architecture,
a sculpture, or a painting. 00:03:47
a sculpture, or a painting. 00:03:47
In our case, as David from Donatello,
00:03:51
it's a sculpture,
we need to focus on the different points, 00:03:54
we need to focus on the different points, 00:03:54
the material used, use, the shape,
the movement, the expression, 00:03:59
the movement, the expression, 00:03:59
or if it represents an idealistic
or a realistic human. 00:04:04
or a realistic human. 00:04:04
Here is the example I have done for you.
00:04:11
The material used is bronze.
00:04:16
We can appreciate
the shape of a young man. 00:04:18
the shape of a young man. 00:04:18
There is a slight movement of the hip
to generate movement, contrapostal. 00:04:21
to generate movement, contrapostal. 00:04:21
The composition is naked,
so knowing realism in the body. 00:04:27
so knowing realism in the body. 00:04:27
A lso, we can appreciate
some expression in his eyes. 00:04:31
some expression in his eyes. 00:04:31
The other type of analysis is
the thematic, 00:04:39
the thematic, 00:04:39
which is basically find story behind
the piece and talk a bit about it. 00:04:44
the piece and talk a bit about it. 00:04:44
Themes can be religious,
mythological, or portraits. 00:04:54
mythological, or portraits. 00:04:54
Religious, from the Virgin Mary
to any biblical episode. 00:05:00
to any biblical episode. 00:05:00
Methological, some myths of the ancient
00:05:05
Greeks or Romans such as Apollo stories,
Venus news stories or some others, 00:05:09
Venus news stories or some others, 00:05:09
or portraits representing a specific
person of the time. 00:05:17
person of the time. 00:05:17
Furthermore,
we should identify the purpose or 00:05:24
we should identify the purpose or 00:05:24
the meaning of the creation,
which consists of explaining the myth 00:05:27
which consists of explaining the myth 00:05:27
or the religious episode, or even
the people represented in the portrait. 00:05:33
the people represented in the portrait. 00:05:33
Who are they?
00:05:40
Here, there is an example
of the masterpiece commentin 00:05:43
of the masterpiece commentin 00:05:43
g, It's David was a little sephiric
who fought against giant goliath. 00:05:48
who fought against giant goliath. 00:05:48
It's a biblical episode.
00:05:55
So the theme is religious.
00:05:57
The importance,
the meaning of this episode 00:06:01
the meaning of this episode 00:06:01
is that faith is more important than
strength when fighting a battle. 00:06:05
strength when fighting a battle. 00:06:05
Finally, the third part is the context.
00:06:14
In this section,
00:06:18
you need to relate the piece of art
with the historical period of its creation 00:06:19
with the historical period of its creation 00:06:19
and to comment the main
characteristics of the artistic style. 00:06:25
characteristics of the artistic style. 00:06:25
You need to mention firstly, the
historical period the piece belongs to. 00:06:31
historical period the piece belongs to. 00:06:31
Then explain briefly about the economic,
00:06:37
social and cultural relevant
aspect of that time. 00:06:40
aspect of that time. 00:06:40
To do so, you need to find it in the
presentation of the modern age again. 00:06:44
presentation of the modern age again. 00:06:44
After that, the artistic characteristic
of the Renaissance should be commented. 00:06:50
of the Renaissance should be commented. 00:06:50
For example, artists were looking
for proportion and ideal beauty. 00:06:55
for proportion and ideal beauty. 00:06:55
Artists gained prestige and they
were promoted by patrons. 00:07:01
were promoted by patrons. 00:07:01
They took Roman and Greek
art as model and so on. 00:07:06
art as model and so on. 00:07:06
Finally, very briefly,
mention a bit about its legacy. 00:07:13
mention a bit about its legacy. 00:07:13
If there are more examples of this theme,
or if nowadays it's a very important 00:07:17
or if nowadays it's a very important 00:07:17
masterpiece visited
by thousands of tourists. 00:07:22
by thousands of tourists. 00:07:22
Again, in here, obviously,
some research is required. 00:07:26
some research is required. 00:07:26
This is how a piece of art is commented.
00:07:31
Here it's the example given of the David
in the context section. 00:07:37
in the context section. 00:07:37
Basically, that's all you need to do.
00:07:45
However, maybe you will find difficult
to see few things 00:07:48
to see few things 00:07:48
in the painting specifically
or in some architecture pieces of art. 00:07:53
or in some architecture pieces of art. 00:07:53
I
have created for that the following slides 00:08:02
have created for that the following slides 00:08:02
in which I have included
some basic details. 00:08:06
some basic details. 00:08:06
If you want to see if a painting has depth
00:08:10
or not,
and now the type of perspective used, 00:08:13
and now the type of perspective used, 00:08:13
because I'm saying you that most
Renaissance paintings have perspective, 00:08:17
Renaissance paintings have perspective, 00:08:17
you need to look carefully
at the painting. 00:08:24
at the painting. 00:08:24
In this example, look at the painting,
the School of Athens by Raphael Sancho. 00:08:27
the School of Athens by Raphael Sancho. 00:08:27
Carefully.
00:08:32
Focus your sight on the place where your
eyes go directly without any intention. 00:08:35
eyes go directly without any intention. 00:08:35
What's that place where are you looking
at without any intention to do it? 00:08:43
at without any intention to do it? 00:08:43
Probably it's here, right?
Or there? 00:08:57
Or there? 00:08:57
Or there?
00:08:59
Yes, somewhere in the middle of these key
00:09:00
main figures who are
plateau and Aristotle. 00:09:05
plateau and Aristotle. 00:09:05
Yeah, you have discovered
the vanishing point. 00:09:13
the vanishing point. 00:09:13
The vanishing point of an image
00:09:17
is the point in which all
lines converse together. 00:09:20
lines converse together. 00:09:20
All the lines departs from that point
00:09:24
and organize the rest of the figures
and the painting itself. 00:09:28
and the painting itself. 00:09:28
It allows painters to generate depth
and depth in paintings. 00:09:34
and depth in paintings. 00:09:34
In that case, depth is generated with the
large corridor and the sky at the back. 00:09:40
large corridor and the sky at the back. 00:09:40
However, the linear perspective
wasn't the only one during that time. 00:09:50
wasn't the only one during that time. 00:09:50
There was another technique.
