Abstract:

In the second quarter of the XVI th century, some changes occur, which reflected in the art from that period. As early as the second half of the century, some new trends began in the art of the High Renaissance. The crisis in the humanistic culture of the Renaissance led to changes in the mentality of the individual person. Feelings like anxiety and disharmony enterеd in the balanced soul of the Renaissance man. They formed new aesthetic criteria, which required a change in the proportions and shapes of the human body and image. Undoubtedly, this is a transitional time in search of new ideals and artistic means.
