I think that the Florentine artist Cimabue must have painted this peice because of its resemblance to some Byzantine elements. I think this is very Byzantine in the way that it was painted because the characters have the Byzantine like mandorlas, rise in a heiratic Byzantine manner, all the characters are flat, long, and thin with flecks of gold and stylized faces.
I belive that cimabue the artist that painted this picture to resemble byzantine art. The painting people that are flat with elongated facial features and the mandorla is depicted.
This work of Florentine art is deffinetly more Byzantine. The faces are all very similar, hieratic scale, golden and flating background, flat/elongated figures, the way the feet are pointed downward as if they are floating, the stylized drapery, and the way Mary almost acts as a throne for the infant Jesus are all very Byzantine-like characteristics. When observing proto-renissance, one observes a closer similarity to Hellinistic Greek style or Roman, for instance. Those styles are not reminiscent in this work
I think the painting shown above is similar to Byzantine art, not Proto-Renaissance. This Florentine piece was painted by Cimabue. It has a plain gold background, shows the long figures floating with some stylization to their drapery and has a sort of hieratic scale. These are all characteristics of the earlier Byzantine art.
This piece clearly belongs to the Italo-Byzantine style of the thirteenth century, painted by Cimabue. In keeping with the Byzantine tradition, the figures seem to float in midair, with no form of background present. The heads of the figures have the proportions found in Byzantine icons, even to the tilting of the heads. The figures themselves are slightly elongated, flat, and stylized, particularly their clothing, with gives one little sense of dimension.
When one looks at this painting, the byzantine style is clear and present. There is a plain background with figures that look as if they are floating. The people are also flat and elongated. Though this piece was painted by the Florentine-Cimabue, it resembles byzantine more than proto-renaissance.
The piece was made in Florence by Cimabue. This was painted to represent Byzantine art becuase it has some Bzyantine elements to it. Such as, there is a plain background, long figures and feet that are pointed foward which makes it seem like that the figures are floating. In addition, the heads of the people are in similar proprtion to those found in Byzantine icons.
This painting was most likely done by Cimabue. It strongly resembles something from the Byzantine era because of the stylized faces and bodies of the figures. There is little variation in the facial features of each individual and the faces are very elongated. There is deffinetly heiratic scale in this image, the larger figures being the most important. Also, The drapery of the clothing the figures are wearing are very stilized and the figures appear to float. Another Byzantine feature is the lack of background.
The Florentine artist of this painting was Cimabue. In this piece, many Byzantine characteristics are apparent. For example, the drapery on the figures is very stylized, which was a recurring theme in Byzantine art. Also, the figures appear very elongated and give the illusion that they are floating.
I believe the piece is a Proto- Renaissance piece. I cant identify many distinctly byzantine features in the figures and the composition is defiantly uncharacteristic of Byzantine art.
This piece, which looks like it must have come from a Florentine artist used Byzantine-like methods along with hieratic scale to resemble power. The Mary figure, who is sitting on a throne is very frontal, as seen a lot in Byzantine art, as well as the gold background and floating angels.
The painting shown on the blog is done by the Florentine artist, Cimabue. I personally believe that the piece belongs more to the Byzantine tradition rather than the Proto Renaissance due to the painting's long, flat, linear figures, and the use of the hieratic scale.
This painting, likely done for the high altar of a church, utilizes many Byzantine artistic elements and is therefore probably the work of Cimabue. The appearance of the figures and composition of the piece makes it Byzantine; figures are flat and frontal, with little emphasis on the body underneath drapery. Also, the use of gold for the halos and background is a direct indication of Byzantine influence.
It is clear that there is a lot of Byzantine influence within this painting. Hieratic scale is shown and the feet seem to be floating. Also, the background does not have any depth. This painting was painted by Cimabue. Lastly, the heads are slightly tilted which resembles Byzantine art.
This work, painted by a Florentine, Cimabue, certainly is more similar to Byzantine than proto Renaissance art. The figures are stretched and elongated, and there is also a mandorla which was common in many Byzantine pieces.
The above painting is most likely a piece by Florentine artist Cimabue. It possesses many Byzantine characteristics, like elongated faces, heavy drapery shrouding the bodies, and seemingly floating figures. Gold appears to have been utilized in this painting, a practice also attributed to Byzantine art.
This work by the Florentine artist Cimabue, contains several similarities to Byzantine artwork. The elongated figures and the mandorla were some of the components that showed a relevance to Byzantine art.
