Classical Art Mind - From Renaissance to Neoclassicism - Marcus Graf

Classical art refers to a legacy that shaped the art of previous and subsequent periods, making it possible to evaluate it correctly. To be able to interpret art, it is very important to take a close look at "classical" art.

The Classical Art Mind, consisting of texts by academician, curator, and art writer Marcus Graf, in which he examines twenty important artists from the thirteenth to the nineteenth century, takes the reader on a long journey from the Renaissance to Neoclassicism. It reveals the importance of twenty artists and their works, which they have preserved from the period they were produced until today, with all their artistic and sociocultural reality.

The Journey:

The journey begins with Giotto, the pioneer of the Renaissance, and continues with the great masters of the Italian Renaissance, Botticelli, Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, as well as the important masters of the Northern Renaissance, Van Eyck, Bosch, Dürer, and Brueghel.

After extending to Mannerism, a reaction against the Renaissance, with El Greco and Tintoretto, it examines Baroque art and new approaches, marked by social, cultural, and artistic transformations, with Caravaggio, Rubens, Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Velázquez.

After deciphering the illusion- and fantasy-filled world of Rococo artists, where art was more idealized, more ornate, and appealed to a more elite segment, the journey concludes in the late eighteenth century with Neoclassicism, a return to the classical art aesthetic.

The Classical Art Mind offers the reader a record of an artistic heritage spanning from the 1300s to the 1800s.
