"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.” - Michelangelo
We now moving on from the Ashcan School to old school, where great art began: The Italian Renaissance. These artists are truly the “Old Masters”, a few notables include:
You can find more artists of the era at artcyclopedia. Submissions are due March 31st. Please email to mtrmburnett@gmail.com
You can also celebrate Michelangelo’s 535th birthday on March 6th by renting a copy of “The Agony and the Ecstasy” and maybe even make some Caprese Salad in honor of his birthplace!
This month also marks the one year anniversary of this blog! Thanks to all those who have participated over the past year!

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful project Michelle - nice and challenging with a massive range of references for us to be inspired by. Congratulations on the 1st anniversary of this blog, and thanks for setting it up for us and keeping it going - it really is appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michelle and CONGRATULATIONS on the one year anniversary of this wonderful blog you've developed. Looking forward to this challenge.
ReplyDeleteOne year wow ! I can not believe how wonderful this blog is for being only one year old. Keep up the good work. I did not submit last month but I did enjoy reading the book and may never have known about it if I hadn't heard about it here. Thanks! Now I have a movie to see too!
ReplyDeleteEven though I haven't done them all, it's been a great and inspirational year. Well done Michelle.
ReplyDeleteMichelle -- Congratulations on your first anniversary! I had hoped to join in on some of the challenges this past year but -- well, life gets in the way sometimes! I think I'll do this one, though -- love the Renaissance.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first year! Can't believe I didn't know about this challenge I love doing tribute art!
ReplyDeleteI just started paying attention to this blog. Loved reading The Art Spirit for the last challenge, and as luck would have it I just returned from a trip to Florence and Venice. My brain is soaked in the Renaissance, and I even re-read The Agony and the Ecstasy in an effort to understand Italian art and politics better. Congratulations on a great site.
