Images of Devotion in Renassiance art

http://www.mrdowling.com/704-art.htmlIn this website that the patrons hope that the art can show the beauty of humen's life.In the art of Renaissance,people learn to perspective and the things far away to close.That is a big improve in that time.

There is a painting is the painting in the dome of a church.The whole pictures in there is all designed by him.The paintings on the doom are all about the illustrates of the book Genesis.Painting a long with a such a big work and lie on his back.It is very difficult.
The last supper
by Leonardo da Vinci
1495-1497

In the last supper this painting,Jesus and his twelve followers have a dinner.He had a forecast that there is a person might betray him.He would be caught.Die on the cross.He also told that the followers that the bread is his body and the wine is his blood.I think Jesus is a great person that he has such a lenient heart to forgive people's offense.

appreticedship and workshops in renaissance

http://www.renaissanceconnection.org/artistslife.html
This website is a pretty good website.There are many information about apprentices.In this website it told us that every artist is began in apprentices to learn craft from their masters.If they try to do the art that is great.They might be famous and become masters and open their own workshops.
Many parents would send their sons to the workshops to learn some art and help with their masters.
Apprentices first would do some easy job like mixing color or prepare the tools to paint...
I think to be a apprentice is very difficult and busy.Now,parents sent their children to school study different knowledge.If I was in the past.I might be crazy to help the masters to do some small things.Now I need to learn more and study more.This is the way to be more easier to success.

This website is about the Verrochio's apprenticeships and workshops.He is the head of the important workshops.The illegitimate son is the one who was received by others that he had a good education from Verrocchio.He has many students and worked with other young artist.
I think if people want to have their own workshop is very uneasy.Our ownself need to have great skill of paunting and need to have own patient to learn.Now, there are seldom workshops.Everyone is studying in school,but same we need to work hard as the people before to have a nice life.
