Question

СРОООООООЧНО! Помогите перевести на английский мини-тексты: 1) Огромная заслуга Джотто состоит в том, что, отвергнув господствовавший в искусстве средневековый канон, он обратился к жизни, природе. Его образы, прежде всего, материальны и объемны: массивное тело, тяжелый, как бы высеченный в камне, профиль. Вместо плоского золотого фона художник помещает фигуры в интерьере или на фоне пейзажа. В искусстве Джотто много мягкости, чистоты и трогательной любви к людям. 2) До нас дошло очень мало работ кисти Мазаччо. Во фреске «Адам и Ева» («Изгнание из рая») Мазаччо разрешил труднейшую для своего времени задачу правильного изображения и постановки обнаженной фигуры. С помощью светотени и цвета он уверенно и мягко лепит форму предметов. 3) Произведение Боттичелли «Весна» овеяно поэтической грусти. Композиция «Весны» строится на характерном ритме певучих линий, на чередовании контуров фигур, которые расставлены, как на сцене.

Answer 1

1)Giotto's great merit is that, rejecting the medieval canon that dominated art, he turned to life and nature. His images, first of all, are material and voluminous: a massive body, a heavy, as if carved in stone, profile. Instead of a flat gold background, the artist places figures in the interior or against the background of a landscape. Giotto's art has a lot of softness, purity and touching love for people.

2)Very few works by Masaccio have come down to us. In the fresco "Adam and Eve" ("The Expulsion from Paradise"), Masaccio solved the most difficult task for his time of correctly depicting and staging a nude figure. With the help of chiaroscuro and color, he confidently and gently sculpts the shape of objects.

3)Botticelli's work "Spring" is fanned by poetic sadness. The composition of "Spring" is based on the characteristic rhythm of melodious lines, on the alternation of the contours of the figures, which are arranged, as on the stage

Answer 2

Translation of Mini-Texts:

1) One of the great merits of Giotto is that he rejected the dominant medieval canon in art and turned to life and nature. His images are primarily material and voluminous: massive bodies, profiles that seem to be carved in stone. Instead of a flat golden background, the artist places figures in interiors or against a landscape. Giotto's art is characterized by softness, purity, and a touching love for people.

2) Very few works by Masaccio have survived to this day. In the fresco "Adam and Eve" ("Expulsion from Paradise"), Masaccio successfully tackled the difficult task of depicting and positioning the naked figure, which was challenging for his time. Through the use of chiaroscuro and color, he confidently and gently molds the form of objects.

3) Botticelli's work "Primavera" (Spring) is imbued with poetic melancholy. The composition of "Primavera" is built on a characteristic rhythm of melodic lines and the alternating contours of the figures, which are arranged as if on a stage.
