Research on the Influence of Western Renaissance Thought on Modern Painting Art

Abstract

The comparison between poetry and painting in the Renaissance has ancient origins, which was directly inspired by some ancient scholars' comments on the relationship between poetry and painting. People admire outstanding works of art, but they think that artistic creation is contemptible physical labor. Therefore, even the best artists are just excellent craftsmen. In the Italian Renaissance, a large number of outstanding painters emerged, and they made great achievements in art, leaving behind a painting aesthetic theory that benefited the whole western painting field. In this paper, the author analyzes the influence of western Renaissance thought on modern painting art, taking Italian Renaissance paintings as representatives. The Renaissance not only had a far-reaching impact on European society and politics, but also affected modern painting art to another extent. Advocating individual freedom, with the help of rationality and scientific knowledge, vivid images and real scenes are reproduced, which creates realism.
