Question

please provide good examples...

Answer 1

Oh my goodness these answers are very misleading. Please see my most recent posting to you.

Answer 2

it really depends on what number of the definition you look at.....

1. A system of thought that centers on humans and their values, capacities, and worth. 2. Concern with the interests, needs, and welfare of humans: “the newest flower on the vine of corporate humanism” (Savvy). 3. Medicine The concept that concern for human interests, values, and dignity is of the utmost importance to the care of the sick. 4. The study of the humanities; learning in the liberal arts. 5. Humanism A cultural and intellectual movement of the Renaissance that emphasized secular concerns as a result of the rediscovery and study of the literature, art, and civilization of ancient Greece and Rome.

for #5, i would say michaelangelo's david is an example of humanism in italian renaissance sculpture. it is completely in the idealized style of the greeks and romans.

really, most of the art in the italian renaissance (except for the early stuff) was about the rediscovery of roman art and architecture. that is about the time people became interested in the romans again. they began to dig up the remnants of the forum in rome. that was more trendy whereas up north in france gothic art was very popular.

Answer 3

The Statue of David

It emphasizes the human physique plus the head and hands are humongous compared to the rest of the body. Signifying the intellect and the ability to create.
