Imagine that you are a student from Holland studying
law at the university of Bologna, Italy. Life in Italy is so
exciting! You have met artist and writers and learned
so much about art and literature. You can hardly wait
to tell people at home about everything you have
learned. But…a lawyer in Bologna has offered you a
chance to stay and work in Italy.
Will you stay in Italy or return to Holland?
I can describe how changes during the
Renaissance affect me today.
•SPI : 7.48 Outline the advances made in literature,
the arts, science, mathematics, cartography,
engineering, and the understanding of human
anatomy and astronomy, including Leonardo da
Vinci (Last Supper, Mona Lisa), Michelangelo
(Sistine Chapel, The David), Johann Gutenberg, and
William Shakespeare.
• Some Renaissance scientist thought
mathematics could help them understand
the universe. They studied ancient math
text and built on the ideas. They created
many symbols such as:
• Square root
• Positive
• Negative
• Advances in mathematics led to advances in
other fields of science. Engineers and
architects, for example, used new
mathematical formulas to design ways to
strengthen buildings .
• Other scientist wanted to know more about
the sky and what was in it. They studied
astronomy. They learned that the earth
revolves around the sun!
• Students continued to study religious subjects,
but they learned about humanities as well.
History was also becoming very important.
The famous renaissance scholar Petrarch
warned against ignoring history:
• “O inglorious age! That scorns antiquity, its
mother, to whom it owes every noble
art…What can be said in defense of men of
education who ought not to be ignorant of
anquity (ancient times) and yet are plunged
in…darkness and delusion
– Petrarch, from a 1366 letter to Boccaccio
• Petrarch’s ideas would affect education
for many years?
How do you think it affected education?
THINK: What is Humanism?
• Did you know Petrarch is consider the
founder of Humanism?
• Cartography is map making. During the
Renaissance, papermaking came from China
and so did print! This allowed the maps to be
more accurate.
• Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect,
and engineer whose genius, perhaps more
than that of any other figure, epitomized the
Renaissance humanist ideal. His Last Supper
(1495–98) and Mona Lisa (c. 1503–06) are
among the most widely popular and
influential paintings of the Renaissance. His
notebooks reveal a spirit of scientific inquiry
and a mechanical inventiveness that were
centuries ahead of their time.
Leonardo de Vinci’s “The Last Supper” shows Jesus and his disciples.
Notice the 3D background that gives the picture depth and dimension.
These drawings from
Leonardo de Vinci’s journals
showcase his inventions and
engineering masterpieces.
• Michelangelo (1475-1564) was a sculptor, painter and
architect widely considered to be one of the greatest artists
of the Italian Renaissance period—and arguably of all time.
His work demonstrated a blend of psychological insight,
physical realism and intensity never before seen. His
contemporaries recognized his extraordinary talent, and
Michelangelo received commissions from some of the most
wealthy and powerful men of his day, including popes and
others affiliated with the Catholic Church. His resulting
work, most notably his Pietà and David sculptures and
Sistine Chapel ceiling paintings, has been carefully tended
and preserved, ensuring that future generations would be
able to view and appreciate Michelangelo’s genius.
The art work during the Renaissance
used realism which made people and
objects looks 3D and very realistic.
• William Shakespeare was one of the greatest
literary influences of all time. Many consider
him the greatest play writer of all time. His
plays are still very popular around the world.
• Romeo and Juliet
• Macbeth
• Julius Caesar
• Hamlet
