In the Renaissance and surrounding time periods there were very stranges rules and ways for people to come into leadership of a nation or kingdom. An example of a strange way for someone to come into leadership, or rather get kicked out of leadership was Charles the VIII. Early in life Charles the VIII was going to be king of France, but because of his frail body structure, delayed development, and difficult puberty, he was dominated by his older sister and her husband (Charles the VIII). This among other reasons kept him from ever taking the throne. After not being able to become king, he refused to marry Margaret of Austria and lost the ability to be in the artios, and wasn’t able to Franche-Comte (Charles the VIII). The strange rules of marriage and politics kept Charles and many other men and women from becoming leaders of their nations.

The first use of a standing army was in 1460 and fought under the rule of king Matthias of Hungary (Matthias I). In the middle of the renaissance England was charged with lawlessness and disorder.

The Influence of Medieval Medicine on Modern Medicine The logic and principles of medieval medicine shaped those of modern medicine. Never was there a more efficient method perfected, so much so that it remained in history for so many hundreds of years. Today’s concepts of diagnosis, relationships with the church, anatomy, surgery, hospitals and training, and public health were established in the Middle Ages.

A time way back around the 1400s is an era we call the Renaissance. The Renaissance was a significant time period, following up the Middle Ages, impacting science, art, and philosophy, and making way for the modern world. Many think that nothing happened during the Middle Ages since nothing was written down.

The Italian Renaissance included some of the greatest artists we have ever seen from Leonard Da Vinci, to Michelangelo, and Raphael. The Renaissance took place from the late thirteenth to sixteenth centuries and is know as the ‘rebirth’. The idea that the rebirth of the arts after being asleep for a thousand years is an amazing thing to grasp. This time brought back light to liberal arts, which were on the brink of being extinct. (Murray 2) What is also interesting about art during this time was that most of the art had Christian in its roots, for example, Botticelli’s The Allegory of Spring (Faure 1) is said to have had a Christian interpretation. (Murray) “Every Italian artist, willingly took the title of architect, sculptor, and painter” (Faure 2). At the beginning of the fifteenth century, the Italian painters had asked the Flemish painters for their secret techniques because the Italians felt like the language of painting was one that was always meant for them. (Faure 4) The sculptors claimed their inspiration from ancient works. Lastly the Renaissance introduced idea of individualism, which helped the Italians get away from everything that was going on during that time. Art during the Renaissance included painting, sculpting and architecture, all of which were an important part in expressing the idea of individualism and making art what is is today.
“The Renaissance is studded by the names of the artists and architects, with their creations recorded as great historical events.” - (Arthur Erickson). During the Renaissance many interesting events happened, many occupations emerged, and many historical events would be set in place. Even though the Renaissance did have it's disadvantages such as the Bubonic plague and struggling to get by due to failing crops and no purified water, people should take the time to learn about the Renaissance because it helped strengthened our religion and background information on literature and other subjects, It allowed to evolve in the ways we do things, and it was a very important time and without it we might not be where we are today.

The Renaissance was a time of innovation and wondrous achievements from legendary social figures. The spirit of the Renaissance was the concept of humanism, which many of these figures clearly portrayed in their works. Prior to the Renaissance, the citizens of Italy were suffering and were provided a new life in some ways with the arrival of the Renaissance A very famous group of Renaissance men consists of Leonardo Da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello. These men accomplished many things in art and are even attributed for modernizing the art industry as a whole. Although they were slightly different in their respective fields of art, Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello shared one common factor in that they were all humanists,
The transformation of cultural studies from theology to philology greatly impacted art and is shown through many paintings from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. During the Renaissance, there was a big focus change from religious figures to the human life (Class Notes). This is shown through many paintings, like the Crucifixion of St Peter by Michelangelo. This picture depicts St. Peter being nailed to a cross while people look on (Class Notes). This painting does have a religious figure, however the focus is spread out through the people. When looking at the painting, your eye is drawn to many parts, not just one. This shows the change from Christianity to humanism (Class Notes). Theology, the study of god, was the major interest of the Middle Ages. Many paintings depict Mary and baby Jesus surrounded by angels (WorldBook). These paintings show the amount of dedication the people gave to religious figures. This shows the change from the worship of the religious figures to the study of people. The paintings from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance show the fo...
