The Renaissance

Leonardo da Vinci)

Mediterranean

family

Niccolo Machiavelli
• Machiavelli-politician in Florence
– lost favor and exiled
– Wanted to return,
– wrote book of statecraft dedicated to the de
Medici
• “The Prince”- how to gain and keep power
• Machiavelli believed good leader should be
amoral – do best for city regardless of morally
right or wrong
Machiavelli and the Prince
• Men judge generally
more by the eye than
by the hand, for
everyone can see and
few can feel. Every
one sees what you
appear to be, few
really know what you
are. Machiavelli, the
Prince
Machiavelli is explaining that appearances are very important with leadership,
and if you can play the part well people don’t really know who you are or what
you are doing with the power (whether corrupt or good). Modern leaders are
known to be “Machiavellian” and politicians are seen to follow his guidance.
• A Child's Machiavelli

POWER and Machiavelli
DEBATE:
• Is it better to be loved or feared?

leader?

Medieval Art
• Very flat (does not look realistic)
• Lots of symbolism
• Mostly religious themes
Notice:
Medieval paintings are
sometimes easy to spot due
to the babies/children
appearing as miniature
adults.
The baby Jesus to the left
does not look like a realistic
infant but rather a tiny adult.
Renaissance paintings begin
to understand how to portray
people more realistically (and
babies begin looking like
adorable cherubs instead of
scary dolls  )
Renaissance Art
(see examples on following slides)
• Developed perspective –
– 3 dimensions on flat surface
• Used geometry:
– to accurately show distance, light, space
• Studied anatomy for figures
– Very realistic (think: baby example)
• Brunelleschi:
– architect for de Medici
– designed church more for the human
worshipper than for God being worshipped
– The Duomo “church”- cathedral in Florence
Raphael’s “School of Athens”:
shows perspective (look at the arches to see the depth/scale of the scene.
It does NOT look flat, but rather 3 dimensional)
Brunelleschi’s Dome on the cathedral in Florence, called the “Duomo”.
The church was built in the 1200s but Brunelleschi added the dome that has
two layers in the 1400s (until then, there was no dome at all).

this other painting is on the left below. This painting has been cleaned and is in the
Prado Museum in Spain. Does this help solve the mystery of Mona Lisa (yes, she had
eyebrows, a veil, etc, but does it also show you da Vinci’s talent in her gaze?)
