What is the renassaince?

The word "Renaissance" come from a word meaning "rebirth in the interest of arts." Before the Renaissance, people thought life was all about suffering and hard work on Earth until you got to heaven. During the Renaissance, people started to explore and invent. They discovered that life wasn't all suffering and started to invent and trade. Guilds were set up and traits were learned. Humanism was created (the study of man and his accomplishments). The Bible was translated from Latin (which the peasents couldn't understand) to the vernacular language (the common language of the pesants-the poor people). Many great artists lived during this time. The time period was around 1400~1600ad. Five famous people: Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Donatello, Raphael, and Galileo. The biggest family known during this time, Medici, gave several leaders; also, they patroned Michelangelo.


Why is the Roman Empire important?

It is important because all that we know, basically, came from the Roman Empire. They are our ancestors (the Romans), and if it wasn't for the Romans, the modern world would be nothing like it is now. Thanks to the barbarians (as well our ancestors, and the thugs who contributed to the empire's fall), we are not as advanced as we could have been. Because of the fall of the Roman empire, there was a Middle Ages, which is when everything, from technology to common sense, completed reversed and people literally started over. The Renassaince was a rebirth of all the ways of the Old World (the Roman Empire), and all the knowledge and technology rediscovered kept building up until this very moment. So, if the Roman empire had not fallen from all the countless reasons, we would today be an exceedingly advanced society much better than we are now. This is stuff no one should be ignorant of, because all we have can be to thanks to the Romans.

Compare a work of art from Leonardo da vinci and michelangelo buonarroti?

the difference between michelangelo and Leonardo da vinci work was that Leonardo was more of a general painter while michelangelo was more of a religious painter and architect. michelangelo had based his work on his faith in the high renassaince of Italy, and showed creation, redemption,damnation and salvation. although Leonardo did not base all of his work on his faith he still had contributed some work on the catholic religion as well as on the bible stories. one of Leonardo's most famous religious peices was the mona Lisa and the last supper. he also did other important ones such as the virgin of the rocks and many more. while as michelangelo had based all his work on religion had done many masterpeices like the creation of the earth and his sculpture of the david based on the bible story of david and goliath. also both of these atists and archetics were very important to the pope and the medici family and they were also of the importance of the high renassaince in itlay.
