It was evident that ideas were changing in the ______ century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more _______ way.

4. When did the ideas begin to change
13th
The Lamentation of Christ
Giotto, Florentine painter and architect , recognized as the first genius of art in the Italian Renaissance, dealt largely in the traditional religious subjects, but he gave these subjects an earthly, full-blooded life and force.
Giotto di Bondone
In common with other artists of his day, Giotto lacked the technical knowledge of anatomy (解剖学) and perspective that later painters learned. Yet what he possessed was infinitely greater than the technical skill of the artists who followed him. He had a grasp of human emotion and of what was significant in human life. In concertrating on these essentials he created compelling (attractive) pictures of people under stress, of people caught up in crises and soul-searching decisions. Modern artists often seek inspiration from him.
The Renaissance (15th to 16th century)
a change in painting:
Tried to paint people and nature as they
really were.
a phenomenon:
Rich people paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions …
people adopted a more humanistic attitude to life.
a discovery:
draw things in perspective.
To make pictures more realistic.
The Renaissance (15th to 16th century)
a new development:
Oil paints were also developed
colours
richer
deeper
Masaccio(1401-1427), the first great painter of the Italian Renaissance, Who first used perspective in painting. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene.

Child and Angels
Crucifixion
Raphael was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period.
画面上，人物衣纹构成的弧线与折线同背景中流淌的河水交相辉映，而人物头发细小的波浪则宛如远处山崖瀑布上冲下的水流。更为重要的是，背景中的阿诺河谷保持了它原始时的状态，近处的女子也单纯朴素地摘除了所有装饰，除了头上那层淡淡的黑纱，它在当时的意大利含有“贞洁”的隐义。
蒙娜丽莎（Mona Lisa) 1503-1505年
The Last Judgment
《最后的审判》是意大利文艺复兴大师米开朗基罗于1534年至1541年受命于罗马教宗保罗三世为西斯廷天主堂绘制的壁画，现藏于梵蒂冈西斯廷礼拜堂。
《最后的审判》》尺度巨大，占满了西斯廷天主堂祭台后方的整面墙壁，描绘有400多个人物。他们是以现实和历史中的人物为原型。在构思上，《最后的审判》比以前的壁画简单，它描绘了基督来临的那一刻，他要审判生者和死者，被他免罪的人将得到永生。
画面中，建筑的形式以及人物的装束都表现出典型的古希腊风格。在开阔的建筑大厅中，不同时代、地域和学派的著名学者全汇聚到了一起。他们代表着哲学、语法、修辞、逻辑、数学、几何、音乐、天文等不同的学科领域，其中每个人都含有对应的象征意味，但他们看起来如同现实中的人，毫不拘束地按照自己的意志和个性在进行活动，完全沉浸在浓厚的学术探讨和自由辩论的气氛当中。《雅典学院》最终希望表现的是人类如何通过自身的理性而获得真理。

Guernica
1937年，西班牙的格尔尼卡小镇为德国法西斯空军夷为平地，毕加索闻讯后极为愤慨，就为巴黎世界博览会西班牙馆画了《格尔尼卡》这幅壁画，对法西斯暴行表示强烈抗议。全画用黑、白与灰色画成。这幅画描绘了西班牙小镇格尔尼卡遭德军飞机轰炸后的惨状。
1940年8月，德国法西斯已发动第二次世界大
战，法国巴黎沦陷，毕加索正侨居在那里，整天在
画室里听到战争的炮火声，心情沉闷。
毕加索的邻居米什老人有个孙子，叫留辛，养
了一群鸽子，他每天用拴着白布条的竹竿在楼上招
引鸽子出巢、飞翔、归巢。后来，留辛觉得白布条
意味着投降，于是在竹竿上换上红布条，象征对法
西斯的复仇火焰。毕加索当时感叹道：“战争祸及
巴黎，也使孩子们早熟。”。然而，毕加索绝未想
到，就在第二天，米什老人捧着一只鲜血淋漓的鸽
子闯进了他的画室，老泪纵痕，痛心疾首地讲述了
留辛的悲惨遭遇。
原来，天刚亮，留辛照例在楼上用竹竿导引鸽子出巢，被德国士兵看见，他们像恶狼一样冲上楼，打了留辛一掌，硬说留辛的红布条是向
游击队发信号，不由分说就把留辛从窗口扔出去，留辛两只小手本能地扒住高楼的窗沿，凶狠的德国兵用枪托猛砸留辛的小手，留辛摔下去，惨死街头，德国兵还不解恨，用刺刀把鸽笼里的鸽子全部挑死。米什老人央求毕加索：“先生，请求你给我画一只鸽子，纪念我那惨遭法西斯杀害的留辛。”，毕加索义愤填膺，当即挥笔画了一
只飞翔的鸽子，栩栩如生，那就是“和平鸽”的雏形。
