Niccolo Machiavelli 1469-1527 Machiavelli's life was very interesting. He lived a nondescript childhood in Florence, and his main political experience in his youth was watching Savonarola from afar. Soon after Savonarola was executed, Machiavelli entered the Florentine government as a secretary. His position quickly rose, however, and was soon engaging in diplomatic missions. He met many of the important politicians of the day, such as the Pope and the King of France, but none had more impact on him than a prince of the Papal States, Caesar Borgia. Borgia was a cunning, cruel man, very much like the one portrayed in The Prince. Machiavelli did not truly like Borgia's policies, but he thought that with a ruler like Borgia the Florentines could unite Italy, which was Machiavelli's goal throughout his life. Unfortunately for Machiavelli, he was dismissed from office when the Medici came to rule Florence and the Republic was overthrown. The lack of a job forced him to switch to writing about politics instead of being active. His diplomatic missions were his last official government positions.

Dante Alighieri was a Christian in the Roman Catholic church. (At the time he lived there were only two branches of the church: Roman Catholic in the west, and Eastern Orthodox in the east.) He is notable for his opposition to certain popes whom he believed corrupt and not faithful leaders of the church. He was fully orthodox regarding Roman Catholic doctrine, though.

No, the general emphasis of the Renaissance movement was not religious. It focused more on humanism, individualism, and the revival of classical knowledge and culture from ancient Greece and Rome. Art, literature, and science flourished during this period.

Well in the renissance times jousting was a huge sport also they would make Indian music and play all sorts of games. Many people enjoyed when they jousted because they got the chance to see the men play in their hard core sport

The name of Charlemagne's horse was "Tencendur."

Renaissance means "rebirth." It typically refers to the peoples of Europe that wanted to recover lost information from Greece and Rome. They were civilizations that learned very advanced techniques for their times and eventually died out. The people living in the Middle East retained these technologies and, when the crusades were carried out, the Europeans uncovered these secrets. This inspired a cultural movement to look back to the Greeks and Romans to recover technology.

Hope that helps! :)

They painted religious themes indirectly by using everyday people and life to represent religious scenes and messages

There were quite a number of people who were most influential people during the renaissance. Some of these people include Desiderius, Martin Luther, Galileo, Michelangelo and many more.

It really didn't change much. Women were either seen as virgins or sinners. They were unable to own property, noble women were contracted to marry while still children to older men, and they were not given civil rights. Women were chattel in most cases, but there were a few who were able to break free. Katherine of Aragon was one woman who could do what she wanted. She went to the crusades, owned her property, was the mother of 3 kings, and the wife of two. She had a lot of power, but this was unusual in this time period.

The Renaissance is often referred to as the birth of learning because it was like a rebirth or reawakening after the Middle Ages. Artists and scholars looked back to the learning and knowledge of ancient Rome and Greece to increase their understanding of the world.

It's cuz of the noble or nights who went around the world telling people stuff and the word went around

The three giants of art during the High Renaissance were Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Raphael Sanzio. Leonardo is renowned for his masterful use of chiaroscuro and perspective, exemplified in works like "The Last Supper" and the "Mona Lisa." Michelangelo is celebrated for his sculptural masterpieces, such as "David" and the Sistine Chapel ceiling, showcasing his extraordinary understanding of the human form. Raphael is acclaimed for his harmonious compositions and serene beauty, particularly evident in works like "The School of Athens" and his numerous Madonna paintings.

The evolution of spatial illusion in Renaissance art marked a significant shift from the flat, two-dimensional representations of the medieval period to a more realistic depiction of space and depth. Artists like Filippo Brunelleschi and Leon Battista Alberti developed linear perspective, allowing for a believable three-dimensional space on a two-dimensional surface. This technique was further refined by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, who incorporated atmospheric perspective, shading, and foreshortening to enhance realism. As a result, Renaissance art achieved a new level of depth and spatial coherence, profoundly influencing the trajectory of Western art.
