After seeing the timeline, I realized that the Era most tied to my work is the Northern Renaissance. During this era, there was a lot of work that was done during the Protestant Reformation. A lot happened during this era. For example, the dark tones are used in many paintings. They looked like they were telling a story and sending a message. Once analyzing a painting like Dulle Griet, you can notice it is very psychological. For example, many dark tones and a gothic style to them.
Another fact that was happening during this Northern Renaissance was that if they saw religious paintings, they would be frowned upon. So this led painters to focus more on what can be seen below. Chaos and story telling is vey visible. Almost like showing a feeling towards what it was like while living in that moment. This era really ties to my work by connecting them psychologically, tonally, and lightly chaotic.
Dulle Griet, Pieter Bruegel, 1962
