This week we learned about the Studiolo Palazzo ducale from Gubbio, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This is a room I remember being in a couple times, but when we saw it in class, it did not pop into my head right away. I think this primarily because I did not know\/appreciate the artistic significance the room had in relation to the Renaissance. The paneled walls were created from wood cutting technique and required intense amounts of precision. While there was no paint involved, the viewer can clearly see a typical room represented in the wood. The diversity of colors comes from a diversity in the kinds of woods used. However, the most fascinating part of this room comes from the perspective it offers the viewer. This is very calculated and in fact, was designed to look like a normal room for 5 foot 9 inches tall people. All this history in a room I have seen many times surprised me, and I think goes into showing the painstakingly small details the Renaissance focused on.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
