The competition between Franciscan and
Dominican churches was important because they wanted the best artwork. Therefore
many artists became more important during the time because of their artistic genius.
With this they could produce more significant artworks than those without the
skills that were gained by others. This created more emphasis on the individual
talent in the artwork itself. Vasari explains this within his three phase of
art. Those phases being, making the rebirth of art, emphasizing the perspective
of the artwork, and the third being the perfection of the first two phase. This has been seen within the artwork of Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello. An example of these
changes in the style of art is a piece of Donatello’s sculpture of the Prophet Habakkuk,
which can see now in the basilica of the Duomo. These changes can be seen in
the subject body in how the clothes drape and have the sense of gravity within
the folds. This is amazing to still be able to see even today, because of this experience
I am able to personally wittiness these pieces of artwork.
