Section 1: Renaissance- means rebirth. The renaissance was a good time in the middle ages. Started in Florence, Italy. The Medici brought the Renaissance to life. Lorenzo the magnificent was a very important person in the beginning. The humaniss were people who stayed with the classics. The artist- They relied on perspective- which is life like things. Michelangelo, was a great painter/sculptor who created the Sistine chapel. Leonardo Di Vinci painted the Mona Lisa. Francesco Petrarch wrote love poems to Laura. Machiavelli - Mcnaboes man. He was from Florence and wrote about the Prince.
Michivelli- Is it better feared than loved, or loved than feared?
1. As a person: I would rather be loved as a person. Being feared would mean not having any allies on my side. It would also mean that people would want to stay away from you because they are afraid of you.
2. As a leader: I would rather be feared because then you will be respected. People would not try to suggest things they know I disagree with. If I was a leader and feared then the people would obey laws more often.
Section 2: Johannes Gutenberg- Created mechanism that could copy movable books. Desiderious Erasmus- Wrote the "Praise of Folly." Thomas More- He thought that every man should be treated fairly. He would not support King Henry 8th, so he was beheaded. William Shakespeare- Wrote Hamlet, and Romeo and Juliet. The Flemish- First to paint in oil on canvas.
