A Study of The Relationship Between Nature and Painting in The Renaissance: Taking Albrecht DÜRer's Works as An Example

Abstract

Many magnificent works of art were produced during the Renaissance, which not only reflected the progress of art but also reflected the deep connection between nature and art. The study of how artists in the Renaissance absorbed nature into their works and organically linked it with art will help people better understand the artistic works and the expression methods of artistic creation in the Renaissance. By introducing the background of the Renaissance, this paper discusses the relationship between art and science in the Renaissance and introduces Albrecht Dürer's change of consciousness about art and nature. What is more, this paper analyzes deeply the study and exploration of nature in Albrecht Dürer's (Dürer) works "A Large Meadow" and "The Holy Family and the Three Hares". By exploring Dürer's and other Renaissance artists' views on the relationship between art and nature, this paper probes into the way of integrating nature into art creation and the influence of nature on art creation during the Renaissance. In a word, this paper hopes to provide a new way for people to understand Renaissance artworks by deeply exploring Dürer's works and artistic concepts.
