 MURALS
The use of color, design, and thematic treatment can radically alter the sensation of spatial
proportions of the building.

*MURAL TECHNIQUES
-Encaustic Painting
Is in which pigments are mixed with hot, liquid wax. After all of the colors have been applied to
the painting surface, a heating element is passed over them until the individual brush or spatula
marks fuse into a uniform film.
-Tempera Painting
Dry pigments are made usable by “tempering” them with a binding and adhesive vehicle. Such
painting was distinguished from fresco painting, the colors for which contained no binder.
-Fresco Painting
Fresco method of painting water-based pigments on freshly applied plaster, usually on wall surfaces.
The colors, which are made by grinding dry-powder pigments in pure water, dry and set with the
plaster to become a permanent part of the wall. Fresco painting is ideal for making murals because it
lends itself to a monumental style, is durable, and has a matte surface.

-Oil Painting on Canvas

Painting in oil colors, a medium consisting of pigments suspended in drying oils.

 SCULPTURES
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of
the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of
material) and modelling (the addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics,
wood and other materials.
Sculpture during the late-15th and early-16th-century gradually assumed a greater
individual importance in relation to architecture and painting. Thus architecture
actually became more sculpture-like: pilasters were replaced by columns; cornices and
moldings were endowed with greater projection, allowing for new patterns of light and
shade.

 Culture
• the ideals of classical humanism were fully implemented in both painting and
sculpture
• The key High Renaissance art in Rome included the mastery of oil painting
and sfumato, sculpting, fresco painting, an architecture.
• The High Renaissance unfolded against a back-drop of mounting religious and
political tension
• To create spiritual figures, your image can't look very real, and if you want your
image to appear real, then you sacrifice some spirituality
 Religion

CHRISTIANITY is the
religion of people
during the High
Renaissance.
 Floor plans
• Square,
symmetrical
appearance in
which
proportions
 Palazzo Farnese
• One of the most
important high
Renaissance in
Rome.
Architecture
The rusticated stone was a popular design
that created variation between stories
wherein the first floor was roughly
entailed while the second floor was
smooth.
The Palazzo from the outside had heavy cornices
and rusticated stone walls but the inside lay out
that made the Palazzo grand was its highly
decorated and ornamented courtyard at the
center.
The Tuscan order was used
because its symbolized the
strong male gods therefore
making the structure look
more powerful.
The Tempietto was the
masterpiece of the High
Renaissance period because of
its harmonious construction of
the great ancient roman
architecture.
The central plan design was famous
by Bramante's floor plan. Classical
simplicity of the Pantheon is found
apparent in Bramante's designs
because he studied Roman temples
first hand.
High renaissance churches are decorated
by the most famous artists of the 16th-
17th century like Raphael and
Michelangelo.
The rise of the Palazzo was made during the
High Renaissance period. Palazzo's were
generally foreboding with its unadorned
façade.

The sheer simplicity of the walls and

rows of windows emphasized the
window variations and pediments. It also
emphasizes the walls texture during that
time called "Rustification".
