When was the renessance time period?

I am not sure. I learned in college that there were minor renessances preliminary to the Renaissance. I assume that they occurred more than once between 500-1500 AD. Perhaps the century leading to the Gothic period was a period of architectural renessance.


What texture does Chopin's etude in c minor Revolutionary have?

This is actually a fascinating question. I suppose that technically, it could be called polyphonic, since the left hand is technically playing a counter-melody throughout. However, the nature and feel of the left hand part still suggests a secondary, supportive role, with the right hand part clearly being the main focus melody. So I'd say that the texture qualifies as homophonic. And, of course, those runs down where both hands are playing the same thing would be monophonic.


What did an apprentice for a master of renaissance painting do?

An apprentice's first tasks were humble: sweeping, running errands, preparing the wooden panels for painting, and grinding and mixing pigments. As the apprentice's skills grew, he would begin to learn from his master: drawing sketches, copying paintings, casting sculptures, and assisting in the simpler aspects of creating art works. The best students would assist the master with important commissions, often painting background and minor figures while the Master painted the main subjects. The few apprentices who showed amazing skill could eventually become masters themselves. A very few became greater artists than their masters. One legend tells of the young Leonardo da Vinci painting an angel so perfectly that his master Verrocchio broke his brushes in two and gave up painting forever in recognition of his pupil's superior abilities.
