【#逐字學英文國際日報】81: century, bicentenary, tercentenary, Trecento

Olivia Longueville Author's Page 發文到 The Tudor and Renaissance World
The Italian term “#Trecento” means “three hundred” in English, meaning the 14th century. This period witnessed the emergence of Pre-#Renaissance Painting, as well as sculpture and architecture. In fact, since the trecento coincides with the Pre-Renaissance movement, the term is often used as a synonym for Proto-Renaissance art. The main types of art during this period showed relatively little change from #Romanesque times. They included: fresco painting, tempera panel painting, book-painting, goldsmithing, metalwork, relief sculpture, and mosaics.
