The Renaissance Period and The Baroque Period are two important artistic periods in the western art history. These two periods are close to each other in time, but having some differences in the artistic style. Artistic form has always been one important component of art. This paper makes comparative analysis on these two styles from the aspect of artistic form, which is convenient for us to deeply understand these two artistic forms and explore the development rule of the art. Radiating Artistic Peak--Brief Introduction to Artistic Style in the Renaissance Period Renaissance, Rinascimento in Italian, originally refers to the rebirth of classical literature and art. It is the cultural movement occurring from 14 century to 16 century, which originated from Florence, Milan and Venice in late Middle Ages, and then expanded to all European countries. By taking the renaissance of classical art as the starting point, it involves science, culture, economy and even the entire society and thoughts of human beings. Following after the art of Ancient Greece and Rome in the western art history, it is another artistic peak, which occupies a crucial position in the western art history and has huge influence on the art later. Renaissance is not merely one artistic movement, but more cultural movement. It involves a lot, including science, literature ans economy, except for art. Therefore, artists in this period were usually “versatile”, who did the painting in the meanwhile of studying science, especially DaVinci enjoying the reputation as “Three Great Masters of Renaissance”. Not only one great master in the aspect of art, he made many achievements in anatomy, mechanics, biology, physics, hydraulics and architecture. During that historical period, the painting focused on: 1. How to really show the nature; 2. How to let the two-dimensional painting be three-dimensional, let the principle figure become vivid and let people take art as the portrayal of real life. Consequently, researches on perspective science and anatomy became the major subjects of artists at that time. How to show the sense of space, sense of depth and the real feelings of human in their products seemed to be one fashion and tide of the painting. Such as The Last Supper of DaVinci, it is taken from the story of Bible. However, the Bible does not specifically mention that the context where the story happens is within the room. While painting, DaVinci endowed the painting with an interior background with sense of depth. Moreover, the technique of manifestation was so splendid that people even had illusions. An inch was just as long as thousands of miles, which was affected by the popular painting style at that time. Some artists even considered the perspective science as the only theme of painting, such as the artistic master of Florence Paolo Uccello, in The Battle of San Romano, every weapon, armor and even line are strictly in accordance with the principle of perspective science. Just because of the mechanical painting style, this product seems stiff, without any vitality. Magnificent Passion--Brief Introduction to the Baroque Artistic Style 2nd International Conference on Economy, Management and Education Technology (ICEMET 2016) © 2016. The authors Published by Atlantis Press 161 The art of Baroque originated in the late 16 century and became quite popular in 17 century. Except for Northern Europe and Middle Europe, it gradually became declined in 18 century. There are different versions of its origin. One says the art of Baroque originated from Portugal or Span, referring to non-round bead; another says it derived from Italian, referring to uniqueness, oddness or wrong deduction. Generally speaking, it is derogatory, which is the artistic style of the last century named by the classical art theorists of 18 century. In short, the art is not worthy of being admired because it is strange, excessively carved and unique. The Baroque Art was quite admired by the authority in 17 Europe. At that time, so-called authority referred to the integration of church, feudal royalty and aristocratic. They had the same hobbies, loving magnificence, brilliance and extravagance. Of course, there was also most important point, they hoped the public absolutely obeyed the religion with the loyal belief. They were the richest class at that time, thus they could sponsor artists and require them to create artistic products according to their own wills. Based on those reasons, it is not hard for us to imagine the artistic styles of Baroque: first of all, it is luxury, which possesses the feature of religion and the color of hedonism; secondly, it is one passionate art, which breaks through the reasonable tranquility and harmony, possesses quite strong romantic colors and focuses on the rich imagination of artists; thirdly, it extremely focuses on motion. Motion and change can be considered as the soul of Baroque Art; fourthly, it has strong religious color. The religious theme has a dominant position in the Baroque Art. Comparative Analysis between the Artistic Form in The Renaissance Period and The Baroque Period As the style analysis, it can be explored from different perspectives. For instance, it can explore the differences of these two styles from the perspective of theme, ideology and manifestation pattern. Because artistic styles of the Renaissance and the Baroque came one after another, differences of theme and ideology are apparent. Of which, there are some comparisons. However, after all, they are under different backgrounds of times. Comparison in the aspect of theme and ideology seems quite far-fetched. However, the comparison in the aspect of manifestation pattern has quite important significance for exploring the changes of artistic forms. Besides, the artistic forms of these two styles have generated huge influences on the art later. Next, in view of artistic form, we will make a quite detailed comparative analysis on these two styles. 1. In view of paintings, products in the Renaissance Period emphasize on sketch, dominated by line modeling. However, products of Baroque style emphasize on color, dominated by light&shade style. Sketch and color are two major manifestation means of painting. No matter paintings in the Renaissance Period or Baroque Period, sketch and color are essential elements. Here, to focus on sketch or color, it is relative. From the paintings of Renaissance Period, we can discover that, sketch line has a quite important modeling position. Due to the emphasis on lines, every figure in the paintings of Renaissance Period has quite clear outline. There is also a quite clear boundary line between objects. In this way, every figure has one independent color and creation. Meanwhile, colors applied to show figure and object are not quite rich. As the character image, although there are changes of light and shade, the application of color is just limited to show the light and shade, without its own characteristics. In the paintings of the Baroque Period, color is promoted to a quite crucial position. In products, contour lines of figure and object are obscure, lines give way to colors. Figure relationship and object relationship are understood as the relationship between color lumps, light and shade. It is not the pure outline of line. Figures in the painting are not colored independently, but integrated with each other. According to the light and shade, it makes the description. The major subject is depicted finely under bright light. Figure and object are obscure in darkness. In this way, it greatly reinforces the vivid sense of three-dimensional and sense of reality(That’s because everything in the real life actually has no boundary line). Meanwhile, we can also see that, paintings of the Baroque Period quite finely and richly show the colors. In the products of the representative Rubens, due to the rich color and delicate presentation, the female body is no longer cold painting or as far as the statue. It seems that they are real, flesh and blood, standing in front of viewers.
