In our last class of the semester, I noticed the recurring theme of the movement \/ replacement of artworks and how that also alters the purpose and meaning of the artwork. I was interested particularly in how the meaning of the Medici sculpture changed after it was removed from the private palace and positioned in the public center. This reminded me of our brief discussion of the spatial organization of a museum, specifically how the setting of a museum is set up to showcase the artworks on display (this is done typically from blank walls and clear \/ minimal lighting to not draw any attention away from artwork). The theme of mastery in art was also explored in our class today when we were talking about how artists began to create artwork just for the sake of creating artwork and showing off their abilities. This is an important shift from previous lectures, as other renaissance artwork had the purpose of conveying a moral message relating to Christianity. Overall, it was interesting to see how the purpose of artwork can deviate significantly within the same time period.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
