Content Outline: Renaissance: What does it mean? “This century, like a golden age has restored to light the liberal arts, which were almost extinct: grammar, poetry, rhetoric, painting, sculpture, architecture, and music.” ~Philosopher Marsilio Ficino. What does this quote mean? What time period is he talking about? Write your response down. The word Renaissance literally means “rebirth.” It refers to a period of creativity and change in which people began to view themselves and their environment differently. Change occurred in four arenas: political, social, economic, and cultural. It began in the 1300s and lasted into the 1500s. Italy was it’s birthplace. A New World View The Medieval Period was marked with disorder and disunity. Scholars were focused on the idea of life after death. The Renaissance established a new attitude that focused on the richness and variety of human experience in the HERE AND NOW. There was a great emphasis on human achievement. Humanism Intellectual movement in the heart of the Renaissance. Focus shifted from religious themes of Medieval world to worldly subjects. Education meant to stimulate creative powers which led to a return to the study of humanities. The humanities were subjects of the Greek and Romans such as grammar, rhetoric, poetry, and history. The use of these ancient studies were used to shed light on their own experiences in the present Francesco Petrarch A Florentine Humanist who assembled a library of Greek and Roman manuscripts. Known as the Father of Humanism. The correspondence of Cicero was one of his most notable discoveries. He also wrote his own literature such as Sonnets to Laura. Humanism in Art Activity: The next slides will show you paintings. You must decide with a partner whether it is Medieval or Renaissance Art and explain why you think so. Painting One: Title: Madonna and the Child in Glory. From the early Renaissance, this painting is still reminiscent of the Medieval period with the religious theme, use of gold to represent heaven, and the use of halos. Painting Two: Miraculous Mass of St. Martin of Tours. How does this compare to the first painting? This painting shows religion but in the realistic setting of a church. The halo is not so pronounced. Would you call this a humanistic painting? Painting Three: Adoration of the Shepards. A painting of the holy family of Mary. No halos are present and it is in an earthly rather than heavenly setting. We can begin to see a switch to a more humanistic view of the world. Painting Four: The Bean Eater. Just from the title we can see that this painting is of a common person. No religious theme apparent in this work. It is simply a common person doing a common thing. Clear example of humanism in art. The Two Renaissance Geniuses of Art Which two artists are we talking about? Leonardo Michelangelo Artistic Genius: sculptor, engineer, painter, architect, and poet. Famous works include: David and the Sistine Chapel. What does this video say about Humanism? Leonardo Very talented artist like Michelangelo. Also, Leonardo was famous for his inventions. Best known works include: Mona Lisa and the Last Supper. 3 Minute Pause Look back over your notes and write down three things that you have learned and 1 question you still have. Writers of the Renaissance Baldassare Castiglione: The Book of the Courtier. Castiglione describes in this book the manners, skills, learning, and virtues a courtier must have. The ideal courtier should have mastered many fields from poetry to sports. Is this book an example of humanism? Machiavelli: The Prince “How praiseworthy it is for a prince to keep his owrd and live with integrity rather than craftiness, everyone understands; yet…those princes have accomplished most who paid little heed to keeping their promises, but who knew how craftily to manipulate the minds of men.” What does this quote mean? How does this view of a ruler compare how we view our leaders? Continued… This quote is from a handbook written by Niccolo Machiavelli entitled The Prince in 1513. Stressed the idea of ruthlessness in rulers, that they should do what they deem necessary to get and maintain power. Conclusion Italy was the birthplace of the Renaissance, a period that produced a new worldview in people that stressed the human experience in the here and now. It produced the Humanist movement and gave a home to many talented artists and writers.
