Hi All 👋 My latest post for Cee’s FOTD.
As with my latest Fan Of… post (see link), I’m exploring some DALL-E AI preset styles for my edits.
I thought I’d try a Renaissance-style edit for today’s Blossom shot. It came out really well, so for the second, I simply got the AI to add a Renaissance-style frame. I’ve included a wee history on the Renaissance Period after the images below.
The Renaissance was a significant period in history and a cultural movement that took place between the 15th and 16th centuries. It marked a transitional phase from the Middle Ages to modernity. The main focus of this movement was to revive and surpass the ideas and achievements of classical antiquity.
The Renaissance was fueled by humanism and the rediscovery of classical Greek philosophy. The development of perspective in oil painting and the knowledge of making concrete were early examples.
The Renaissance period began during the crisis of the Late Middle Ages and ended by the 1600s with the waning of humanism. The advents of Reformations and Counter-Reformation, and in art, the Baroque period marked its end.
The Renaissance was a cultural movement in Europe during the early modern period that impacted art, architecture, philosophy, literature, music, science, technology, politics, religion, and intellectual inquiry. Scholars used the humanist method and emphasized realism and human emotion in art.
Renaissance art (1350 – 1620 AD) is the painting, sculpture, and decorative arts of the European Renaissance period, which began in Italy around AD 1400. It was based on the art of Classical antiquity but transformed by incorporating recent developments in the art of Northern Europe and applying contemporary scientific knowledge. Renaissance art spread throughout Europe, marking the transition from the medieval period to the Early Modern Age.
Renaissance art shifted from abstract to representational forms. It expanded to include classical mythology, portraits, and contemporary events. There was a revival of classical styles and ideas (specifically humanism), a return to the naturalistic style (3D objects and space), and the rising status of the individual (both artist and patron).
If you follow my blog, you know I’m currently working on a project fusing my photography with AI creativity. For more on my journey with AI, check out my Fan Of… series, the latest of which is a reimagining of some lensball shots.
