How is Holbein's portrait of Georg Gisze different from art in the Middle Ages?
his inspirable art work show the contrast and flavor of the renaissance period
In this time painters did not pant peasant's manly nobles and kings or religious types of art. Another is manly off the work of ancient roman novels and manuscripts acting as inspiration for those such as Leonardo da Vinci and a massed of scholars. My personal thought is the panting that Hans Holbein panted of the German merchant Georg Gisze inspired Leonardo da Vinci to pant the Mona Lisa at that time as you know would never panted peasants. Another is to pant religious artwork to gain the affection of the catholic church as such the popes would adore the artwork of such painters and would commission them to pant portraits of God angles and how men could get close to them and as such the mosaic in Sistine Chapel in Rome. Michelangelo was commissioned to pant this on its ceiling known as one of the best works of this age and are also as a religious symbol.(Robert Hold)

What was the goal of a liberal arts education during the Italian renaissance?
Classical education can best be summed up in the concept of the Liberal Arts. The term derives from the Latin libera, meaning freedom. For the Greeks and Romans, a liberal education was necessary for a human being to be free. Vocational training, by contrast, was reserved for slaves. Free citizens required an education that enlarged the mind, cultivated civic virtue, and developed the full human potential. As they were systematized in the Middle Ages, there were seven "arts" that comprised a liberal education. They were suited to the various stages of intellectual development, and engaged all of the human faculties. The Seven Liberal Arts consisted of two parts: the trivium of grammar, logic, and rhetoric; and the quadrivium of mathematics, music, astronomy, and geometry. Once these "arts" of learning were mastered, the student was equipped for the study of the sciences: natural science, moral science (including history, politics, and law), and theological science (the study of religion and first principles). After this regimen, a student would study for a profession.
How do you dress like queen Isabella?
For a real Five Star or Spanish equivalent ( mashal"s badge) - why not dress as Isabella on Campaign- a cross between the Spanish Queen and Lady Knight costumes with touches of both Isabella and Joan of Arc! Isabella did wear armor on campaign and thus qualifies as a Lady Knight as well as a Queen- and that is no mean achievement. An added bonus, if a little bulky the costume would be mugging resistant. Vaya Con Dios!
