In the second class, we discussed how the term “middle ages” insinuates that the medieval time period was a period of transition and lacked individuality. The term renaissance as “rebirth” shows that there was a notion that the classics died and had to be revived during the renaissance. We explored this bias also in our discussion about Vasari. First, we talked about the context of Italy at the time and campanilism. Vasari was openly bias towards Florentine art and the superiority of Florence. This led to our discussion of how the emphasis placed on masterpieces can be harmful because it reduces artistic diversity as the more common, mass produced art is left out of conversations in art history. We also talked about the different views on life on Earth between the middle ages and the Renaissance , specifically between “Viator Mundi” and “Faber Mundi”. Art changed in the era of humanism as artists began signing their work and society became more secular than the middle ages. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
