moved almost half of Europe!

work their land, now they didn’t
Lords had to pay people to come work
for them.
The Result
•
•
Because all these people were moving
to where there were jobs, big cities
started forming instead of small towns
Some people didn’t have to work, so
they could just sit and think, or paint,
or invent, or even just read.

and the feudal era came to
an end, people left their

What is Commerce? It’s “The buying and
selling of a large quantity of goods.”

houses and works of art.

Paintings
Leonardo da vinci
Leonardo da Vinci is best remembered as the painter of the
Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. But he's almost as
famous for his amazing list of other talents: he tried
architecture, sculpture, engineering, geology, hydraulics
and the military arts, all with success, and in his spare time
came up with ideas for parachutes and flying machines
that looked like inventions of the 19th and 20th centuries.
He made detailed drawings of human anatomy which are
still used today. Leonardo also was weird enough to write
notebook entries in mirror (backwards) script, a trick which
kept many of his observations from being widely known
until long after he died.
