This website has so much information about artists,paintings or the history of Florence.In addition, their introduce of paintings are very usrful to learn more details about the Renaissance .

I learned most people in Florence at that time ,they really believed that they lived in a new ages,a really different ages from Dark Ages.And humanists in Florence even styled their city a "new Athen".In Renaissance,painters used many different skills,ideas,and subjects from dark ages.For instance,painters always made the lines in the works disappear at a point,that is a special way to attract our eyes.

The Annunciation-by Fra Carnerale
I chose it because I like its color and composition.It really attract my eyes because I alway see along with its disappearence of line.I like this paintiong skill.






Saint John in the Dessart-by Domenico Voneziano
This painting use another skill which I like too is contrast.The painter colored mountain with white colors, and colored its against color-black.It made us have an impact of visual.I still can not
use this skill skillfully, it isn;t simple at all.
