The+most+famous+artists+of+medieval+times

= 1. Questions (I wonder...?) =
 * I wonder which artists were the most famous in medieval times?
 * I wonder which artists are most appreciated now but wern't in medieval times?
 * I wonder what the artist's most famous styles of art were?

= = = 2. Inferences (I think that...because....) =
 * I bet the most famous artists back then were the ones who painted in the Cathedrals, but I have no clue who exactly they were.
 * I think people now have learned to appreciate some artists work that archaeologists have found that people in medieval ages either didn't like, didn't care, or just didn't know about.
 * The pictures in the History book make it seem to me that their most famous styles were mostly things that looked very, very realistic instead of things like abstract which artists use today. This is probably because since thay didn't have cameras they had to do something to capture the moments.

= 4. Summary = During this project I have learned about many of the most famous artists from around the beginning of the middle ages to the early Renaissance. I also learned that many of the most famous artists were men. Some of these people included Lorenza Ghiberti who aws a sculptor and painter who helped found the Renaissance. There was Donatello who did Statuary work. Giottodi Bondone was an architect, sculptor, and painter in the early Renaissance. His art styles pioneered new ideals of naturalism and created a sense of pictural space. Leon Battista Alberti had architectural principals that were founded on the importance of painting as a base for architecture. Cimabue was the last great painter who worked on the Byzanntine tradition. Filippo Bruelleschi was an artist, sculptor and an architect. Fra Angelico was a Florentine Artist. Some of the female artists included Clarcia who was a German artist and nun who illuminated manuscripts in the 12th century. There was also Herrad of Landsburg. Ende who was an 11th century nun and illuminater. Guda (or Guta) who was a German 12th century nun and illuminator. Diemuda (or Diemudis) was a Bavarian nun and illuminator. Abbess Hitda and Hildegard. These were some of the most famous artists known from the middle ages and they have done some pretty incredible pieces.
