4) The Palazzo Rucellai was smaller and skinnier and had different types of columns for each row, but it was very mathematical. It was made this way for this period because this period was all about ratios and proportions of the human persona. It was also about self-achievement and what and individual person could accomplish. the Palazzo Farnese was all about showing the dignity of the High Renaissance. This explains why it is so much bigger and wider than the Palazzo Rucellai. The rusticated doorway and the above balcony help unify the overall structure. The Palazzo Te was all about the elegance and manner of that period. The Palazzo de Te was stable and symmetrical so it helped to preserve the artistic aspect of a building rather than the actual material of the building. All 3 were similar in that rustification is present and the buildings are all sort of rectangular instead of other shapes.5) All three of the portraits demonstrate the evolution of the depiction of people in portraits. You can see this starting in the Giovanna Tornobouni portrait. You can see that she is rotated 90 degrees from the standard look at the camera. You can also see bright hues being displayed on her clothing and the lines on her sleeves do not seem realistic. When you compare this to the other two portraits, you can see that clothing wasnt very realistic during the first era of portraits. The Mona Lisa is next and it is probably one of the most famous paintings in the world. She is an example of Florence art because of her careful sfumato and her mathematical ratios on her face. You can see that the Mona Lisa and the Portrait of a Young Man both use chiaroscuro techniques that were not seen from the previous time period. They both also have a darkish hue on the clothing and the main subjects. You can see that the latest art, the Portrait of a Young Man has a style of elegance and sophistication. This is because it was painted during the Mannerist period. You can see the muted background, the French hat, and the asymmetrical silhouette that was typical of Mannerism.

6) The designo form was popular in Italy and Florence while the Colorito was popular in Venice. The designo was considered an external, physical manifestation of the masterpiece itself. The colorito was a term used to describe the application of paint. As seen in the name, colorito was all about color and paint. Popular example artists of the colorito were Titian Antonello de Messina and Giogine de Castefranco. Popular example artists of designo are Leonardo da Vinci and Frederico Zucarro. Leonardo da Vinci had many designos as seen in the Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and the Infant John as well as the Embyro in the Womb. Examples of colorito are The Tempest and the Pastoral Symphony. You can see that designos are much more detailed with the smallest lines and because of the use of silverpoints. Designos are much darker and mysterious as seen in the Virgin and Child with Saint Anne. I think that designos were freer and flexible seeing as Leonardo writes on them like notes as seen in the Vitruvian Man. However, coloritos were much more beautiful because of the different colors and the application of paint. You can see this in the Pastoral Symphony painting, as everything is much more vivid and exquisite. They both had a strong focus on paper or canvas and applying the best techniques in order to make the greatest art. The designo was very much about the intellect of the human while the colorito was about the beauty and pleasures of humanity.

7) If you look at the poses of both women you can tell that the portrayal of women has changed over the course of time and through the different periods. You can see that the lady in the Tempest who is breastfeeding is kind of uncaring about who looks or not. On the other hand, Parmigianinos Madonna is very conceited and you can tell because her head is cocked sideways as if saying Oh, me? Shes pointing to herself and not Christ and we havent really seen that in a while. One reason for The Tempest being so different from the Madonna with the Long Neck is that art in Venice was mostly about the beauty of nature and the human body. That is why there is a half nude lady breastfeeding and also why there is an amazing atmospheric landscape in the background. On the other side, you can see that Madonna is draped with different elegant clothing than we normally see on her. There is no more hood and she has an expression of elegance and wealth. The setting is also not like the previous painting from Venice. There is no landscape or anything about nature in the whole setting. Each of the artists were more concerned about adhering to their style that was popular during their own city and their own time.8) Palladio wanted a high central nave and lower aisles in a unified faade design. Because of this, he created a tall narrow classical porch on top of another low one that created a sense of 3-D depth. You can compare this to Albertis Sant Andrea in Mantua. His west faade only contains one of the narrow porches while Palladios has two stacked on top of each other. You could say that Albertis is 2-D while Palladios is 3-D. The Sant Andrea is close to ancient Rome with its use of the temple front and the triumphal arch, while San Giorgio had feature from other cultures combined with the classic roman ideas. The dome looks like something that would belong in the Haggia Sophia. You could see in the picture that light is flooding in and it reminiscent of that time period. You can also see the return of the minaret or bell tower like structure. That closely resembles Islamic architecture.
