The first day of Renaissance Art was definitely interesting and gave me a good first impression as its my first art class at Colby. That’s all to say, I really enjoyed the way Goethe likened his experience with the art to being in a “House of God”. I think those experiences, both being in a holy location and in the museum, are so visceral and unique that it underscores, for me, the longevity and variety of impacts that art can have on the body. Having the originally purposed location be a holy altar makes me see the connection so much clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What also struck me was the conversation on Renaissance and specifically the mentioning of the requisite death to now understand the ushering of new birth. It makes for fertile ground, in my opinion, to ponder on which other historical gravesites were transformed through the emergence of newly birthed items of relevance to deem the point in time one of a “renaissance’. After the first class I’m definitely excited to dive into to more of the art and ask some more questions about Renaissance art and how it was translated over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
