looking at previous works of art which are generally stiff flat and stylized Gothic Cathedrals are complex works pioneering many technical advances also very ornate and organic Early Renaissance late 13 th 14th c artists attempting to depict optical effects looking at the world around them rather than at past works of art Middle Renaissance 15th c artists beginning to work through techniques for convincingly depicting world around them art is conceived as a window on the world High Renaissance late 15 th 16th artists have mastered techniques for convincingly depicting world around them and bring them to new heights this chronology holds true for both the Italian Renaissance and the Northern Renaissance but keep in mind that the Northern Renaissance often preserves more Gothic qualities Mannerism late 16th c overlaps with High Renaissance having mastered the techniques of naturalism and illusionism many artists turn away from them to create works that are visually illogical in many ways Mannerism is a trend in Italy and not in Northern Europe Key terms Relic reliquary Apse Nave Vault Transept Flying buttress Ribbed groin vault Humanism Hieratic scale Usury Allegorical figure
