CHAPTER 1

A) Chapter Overview:

The Renaissance, which occurred from the 1300s to the 1600s, consisted of the rise of the five major city-states, the rise of humanism, and a multitude of patronage in the arts. The Italian Renaissance differed from the Northern Renaissance in that the Italian Renaissance was more secular, and in the North the focus was more on church and social reforms. Later, during the Age of Exploration, technological advances paved the way for exploration and conquest. Corruption in the Catholic church led to major reforms and the spread of Protestantism. Finally, the Catholic Reformation with the Council of Trent brought back Catholic doctrine.

    The first factor that moved Florence in to the Renaissance was their Republican government. A part of their government was seven chosen men who they referred to as ‘senior guilds’ which formed a body of magistrates and ruled the city. This government was created so that it could preserve Florence from the rise of terrible city tyrants who were out to get many cities. This government introduced situations of the city as public matter rather than private matter. Anyone a part of this government had to be elected or appointed. No positions were inherited to people. People elected their rulers and it was the ruler’s responsibilities to help the concerns of all the people rather than just a few. The second factor that moved Florence in to the Renaissance was the rise of Fine Art; starting with paintings. In the late 15th century many artists came around to some very famous pieces and new concepts of art. One artist that played a major role in this was Gentile Da Fabriano. He’s most famous for his new Gothic International painting, the “Adoration of the Magi.” This piece of art became the new talk of the town. It incorporated many influences from all over Europe, not just Italy. It also purposed many ideas and storytelling, which was something that hadn’t been done at this time yet. Another famous artist, which many of us know today, Leonardo Da Vinci. He’s most famous for his painting of the “Mona Lisa” mostly because of her interesting smile. The third factor that moved Florence in to the Renaissance was the introduction of Humanism. Within the late 14th and early 15th century, a new perspective of learning, writing, creating, and even thinking arose. Humanism seeks after the incredible importance on people rather than the divine or supernatural matters. This allowed many people to turn away from the Medieval Ages to a new age. A famous scholar Pico Della…

    Renaissance means rebirth. It was a time period in Europe from the 14th century to the 17th century. The renaissance is the period when educated men and woman wanted to bring back the classical age. It started when scholars saw the art and literature of the Middle Ages. People found passion in the painting and the writing. There are three main reasons why The Renaissance took place in Italy. The first reason is because that's where ancient Rome left all its architecture and artwork in the dust. The second reason is because Italy became more urban while everywhere else was still rural because of the Crusades. The last reason is that Italy had many wealthy merchants tha just wanted to enjoy life at the time.…
