Day five.
Late Renaissance: 1550-1600t
Montaigne, wrote book about: Essays = (to attempt in French. Short discussions in all topics) characterized by open-mindedness & tolerance. Relativism & secularism reflected the underlined stories. Relativism = things are relative. Things ok in one culture but not ok in another, no absolute truth. Secularism = being preoccupied with here & now. Opposite of Sacred` VERY IMPORTANT
Canvantes, wrote novel called Don Luixote (adventurous novel example Hangover. Ppl liked these stories) Canvantes was obsessed with magic and sword fighting etc. Showed how reality consisted of different viewpoints.
Shakespeare, Hamlet: play named after main character: hamlet venberg. Beginning of play received a letter from Prince of Denmark saying his father is dead & uncle is king of Denmark & mother married uncle = queen of Denmark. Shakespeare was “visted by a ghost: hamlet’s ghost saying he died from poison mercury into his ear by his uncle to receive throne”
highlighting in play: too much knowledge from printing press = problematic to life (confusion occurring)
Psychologization = an emphasis on how people think & feel, psychology people. More & more writers/musicians/painters were paying attention to these people. Different way of looking at the world: astronomically, etc.
Geographical Exploration: The way the Europeans got all over the world with boats. Encountering different people & religions. Disorienting because culterism gets blend together.
Reformation (luther) protestant 1517. 1st major thing When Christian religion broken up into 2 versions. Cathloic (oldest) protestant (new) rejected authority of Rome & pope.
Copernican Revolution Galilo 1625: believed the sun was the center of universe. Everything went around the sun. “Heliocentric” Eurocentric the opposite = Earth went along the sun. Galilo first great physicians = wrote book that earth went around the sun.
--------------------------------------
Early = spring time/ self confidence/ creativity / optimism
Middle = had same elements Leonardo da vinci & angelo, but the bloom began to come off the flower. Stresses & tensions coming in this time. Complications/ dissapoitments/ depression/ defeated.
High = Leonardo/angelo produced incredible production in the high arts. 1527, something happened to affect brought to the end of high renaissance. Invasion of Rome by an army of the north of the Yelps. (Germans, france etc) These army were protestants, disagreed with pope and caused mayhem to the city of Rome. This took the edge off the high renaissance. So now we enter to a different phase called the late renaissance. “complicated” a lot of changes were happening in Europe = disorientating. State of mind of renaissance was changing. The world got more complicated till there.
2nd major thing put emphasis on the bible, which also put emphasis on reading. Reading wasn’t just for entertainment, it was also to “save your soul” to read the bible and follow the teachings of Jesus/Pope/Church.
1540 VERY IMPORTANT! Printing press began and it was very popular. It made printing of the bible possible and thus many was sold.
Then protestant broke up into a lot of version (baptism, etc)
TALK ABOUT HUMANITIES THING FOR EXAM. THE ABOVE IS BACKGROUND.
Protestants deemphasized status/paintings (visual arts) in their churches. There was painting done, but not to be put inside churches. More like homes.
Martin Luther got the role in 1917 when he criticized the church. (He was a priest)
Formed his own way of Christianity called Lutherism.
Same thing happened in England. Henry the 8th (king of English) married, married to Kathleen Aragon. Couldn’t get divorced because of Catholic church and formed his own church called Church of England. Became main church of England as till today.
English owned Ireland. Ireland was catholic and England was protestant. Ireland & England never got along because of that.
3 developments:
protestants by martin luther
exploration
Copernican revolution
Durer = painter, painted Melon Coly (renaissance word from Shakespeare: depression) one figure he saw from Angelo. Bats = symbol of knight.
Depression is caused by too much knowledge. This angel of the picture represents mankind. This angel is surrounded by scientific devices/mathematical things. Angel is depressed because nothing is happening when time is flying based on the hourglass with most of the sand is gone.
Explosion of knowledge is confusing. Too much to know.
Under new knowledge = psychology is changing as well.
