Early Renaissance
TRANSFORMATION OF CHRIST BY BELLINI/1475 The general goal of early Renaissance sculpture and painting was to emulate realism and naturalism by using the knowledge from Antiquity (Classical Greece). This goal was achieved through the use of:
1. ancient innovations such as linear perspective,
2. atmospheric perspective and consistent light source,
3. higher and lower relief for sense of depth,
4. and through natural and telling poses such as the contrapposto pose.
