Renaissance
The renaissance happened between the 1300 to the 1600. The renaissance
was all about the re-birth of art, writing and drama. It was like roman and Greek
cultures together (Greco-Roman). Humanism
begins, the study of human achievements. The wealthy would enjoy as much
possible and spend money on paintings to make the city more pretty.
A renaissance man was a person who could do it all. From painter to a great scientist. Leonardo
and Raphael were one of the greatest Renaissance man. Raphael Sanzio advanced
realism. Realism was all about making paintings looking very real and sculptures.
Leonardo De-Vinci was one of the
greatest painter, inventor, scientist and sculptor of all times. He painted the
Mona-Lisa.
Machiavelli was a prince who examined how to gain and keep
power.
Michelangelo was another renaissance man. He created David
and painted the last supper. He used the vanishing point to paint his work or
arts. The point of perspective was used a lot to see the point of a painting. William
Shakespeare was one of the greatest play writer. He wrote Romeo and Juliet. He performed
at the London’s globe theater.
