Please follow the instructions, this 5 questions are part of a final exam, I want the writer to

answer them in their own words, and also do not use any citation or quotation, just their own

words. All of the questions are referring to : THE HIGH RENAISSANCE AND MANNERISM IN ITALY
(Chapter 13 from TEXT: Culture & Values 8 th Edition with LMS MindTap o By: Cunningham, Reich and

Fichner-Rathus o Publisher: Cengage Learning)

1. Critics use the adjective Michelangeloesque. Now that you have studied his work, what does that

adjective mean to you? Give an all-inclusive definition of the term.

2. Michelangelo’s Medici Chapel represents the artist’s best attempt to express a permanent tribute

to the dead. How does it differ in spirit from such monuments today? (You might begin by comparing

it to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C., or some other such public monument.)

3. Castiglione’s concept of sprezzatura was an attempt to summarize the ideal of the educated

courtier. Is there a word or phrase that would best sum up the character of the well-rounded person

today? Do we have a similar ideal?

4. Mannerism as an art style contains an element of exaggeration. Give examples from the works of

art in this chapter where “exaggeration” can be noted.

5. If you were to transpose Raphael’s School of Athens into a contemporary setting, what kind of

architecture would you use to frame the scene and whom would you include among the personages in

the picture?
