Things
Renaissance
thinkers did
• Sought to bring Europe out of
disorder and disunity. (Bring
unity and order to Europe)
• placed greater emphasis on
individual achievement.
• tried to understand the world
with more accuracy.

Things that
happened during
the Renaissance
because people
were curious.
• Trade assumed greater
importance than before.
• Navigators sailed across the
oceans. (Not Pacific)
• Scientists viewed the universe
in new ways. (literally and
figuratively)
• Writers and artists
experimented with
new techniques.

WHY ITALY?
Europe in 1500
• Italy’s central
location & control of
trade routes helped
make it a
center for the trade
of goods and ideas.
• Italy was the
center of the old
Roman Empire.
• Wealthy Italian
Merchant families
were Patrons of
the arts
• Byzantine
scholars fled there
at the fall of
Constantinople

Humanism
• Most Renaissance humanists were
devoutly religious but they focused on
worldly (secular) issues rather than
religion. Things in the here and now.
• Humanists believed education should
stimulate creativity.
• They emphasized study of the
humanities, such as grammar, rhetoric
(art of speech), poetry, and history.
Humanists studied the works of Greece and Rome to
learn about their own culture.
The Ideal Renaissance person was one who had diverse skills
and learned the humanities.

The Medici family
• merchants and bankers who
controlled Florence after 1434.
• Lorenzo de' Medici invited poets,
philosophers, and artists to the
city.
• Florence became a leader, with
numerous gifted artists, poets,
architects, and scientists.
• Machiavelli's book “The Prince”
was written for them.
• One became pope…
As a result of these families ordinary people were exposed to art
outside of Church.

Niccolò
Machiavelli’s book
“The Prince”
• was a guide for rulers to gain
and maintain power.
• he stressed that the ends
justify the means. (not
honesty)
• The term Machiavellian has
come to refer to the use of
deceit in politics.
• Critics saw Machiavelli as
cynical, but others said he was
providing a realistic look at
politics.

Changes that made
Art in the Renaissance
Different then the Middle
Ages
• Mostly religious themes but
made to look like ancient
Greece and Rome
• Realism-Looked more
realistic.
• Used Perspective, a new
technique that made
paintings look more 3d
• Painters used oil paint that
shined to create shadows.
• Artists studied the human
anatomy to better portray the
human body

How does perspective work?!?
Distant objects
appeared smaller.
One new technique was
perspective, credited to
Filippo Brunelleschi.
Perspective allowed
for more realistic art.

Writers were also humanists. Some described
how to succeed in the Renaissance world.
Baldassare
Castiglione’s Book of
the Courtier described
the manners and
behavior of the ideal
aristocratic man and
woman.
•
Men played music
and knew literature
and history but were
not arrogant.
•
Women were kind,
graceful, and lively,
and possessed
outward beauty.

The Renaissance
Spreads from Italy to
Northern Europe
• Northern Humanists studied art
and sciences.
• Hoped to bring religious reform
• Wrote in the vernacular
• <3 the middle class
What was the Difference between the Renaissance in
Italy and Northern Europe?
TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
The towering figure of northern Renaissance
literature was the English playwright and
poet William Shakespeare.
Between 1590 and
1613, he wrote 37
plays which are still
performed today,
including:
• Romeo and Juliet
• Hamlet
• A Midsummer Night’s
Dream

In 1455 Johann Gutenberg printed a complete edition of
the Bible using a printing press with movable type.
Effects of the printing press
The printing
revolution
transformed
Europe.
•
Printed books were far easier to
produce than hand-copied books.
•
More people had access to a
broad range of learning and new
ideas.
•
By 1500, the number of books in
Europe had risen from a few
thousand to between 15 and 20
million.

The Scientific Revolution
TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
Until the mid-1500s, Europeans accepted the idea
that the Earth was the center of the universe.
• This geocentric view was developed in ancient times
by Aristotle and Ptolemy.
• By the Renaissance, it had become official Church
doctrine…. Even though many people didn’t believe it.
TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
Polish astronomer
Nicolaus
Copernicus
challenged this
view.
•
In 1543, he proposed a
heliocentric, or sun-centered,
model of the solar system.
•
The Earth and other planets
revolved around the sun.
This 1660 diagram shows a
heliocentric solar system
TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
Copernicus’s revolutionary theory was rejected.
If the classic scholars were questioned, then all
knowledge might be called into question.
But careful
observations
by Tycho
Brahe
supported
Copernicus.
Johannes
Kepler used
Brahe’s
data to
calculate the
orbits of the
planets.
Kepler found
that the planets
don’t move in
perfect circles
as earlier
believed.
TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
In Italy, Galileo Galilei built a telescope and
observed several moons in orbit around Jupiter.
He said these
movements were
the same as those
of the planets
around the sun.
This contradicted
Church doctrine
that the Earth
was the center
of the universe.
Galileo was tried for heresy and forced to recant
his theories before the Inquisition.
“And yet it moves…” -Galileo

Over time, scientists developed a step-by-step scientific
method. It required the collection of accurate data and
the proposal of a logical hypothesis to be tested.

Isaac Newton linked science and mathematics.
Newton theorized
that gravity was
the force that
controls the
movements of
the planets.
He believed that
all motion in the
universe can be
measured and
described
mathematically.
He contributed to
the development
of calculus,
a branch of
mathematics,
to help explain
his laws.

The early 1500s were uncertain times
in northern Europe.
Huge Differences (Disparities) in wealth,
a new cash based (market economy),
and religious discontent all led to (bred) uncertainty.
(Pink words can be replaced with the ones in the parentheses)
The printing
press spread
knowledge
and new
ideas quickly.
Humanist
ideas for
social
reform
grew in
popularity.
More people
began to
question the
central force
in their
lives—the
Church.
TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
The Dutch priest Desiderius Erasmus was one
of the major religious scholars of the age.
Born in 1466,
Erasmus helped
spread humanist
ideas to a wider
public.
• Erasmus called for
translation of the Bible
into the vernacular.
• He believed a person’s
chief duties were to be
open-minded and show
good will to others.
• He also sought reform
in the Church.

The printing press quickly spread Luther’s
writings throughout Germany and Scandinavia.
The German
monk Martin
Luther
sparked a
revolt in
1517.
•
Angered by the sale of
indulgences, Luther drew up
his 95 Theses and nailed them to
a church door in Wittenberg,
Germany.
•
He argued that indulgences had
no place in the Bible,
and Christians could only
be saved by faith.
•
Rather than recant, Luther
rejected the authority of Rome.
TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
Why did leaders support Martin Luther and the Protestant Revolution?
1. Some German princes saw Lutheranism as a
chance to throw off the rule of both the Church
and the Holy Roman emperor.
2. Some saw an
opportunity to
seize Church
property in their
territories.
3. Others
embraced the new
church
out of nationalistic
loyalty.
4. Many were
tired of paying
to support
clergy in Italy.
TEKS 8C: Calculate percent composition and empirical and molecular formulas.
John Calvin, a French-born priest and lawyer,
was strongly influenced by these Reformation ideas.
Calvin accepted most Lutheran beliefs but added
his own belief in predestination.
He preached that God
had long ago determined
who would or would not
gain eternal salvation.
There were
two kinds
of people,
saints and
sinners.
Only the
saved could
live a truly
Christian life.

By the late 1500s, Calvinism had spread
throughout northern Europe.
Challenges to
the Catholic
Church set off
a series of
religious wars.
•
In Germany, Lutherans and
Catholics fought Calvinists.
•
In France, Calvinists battled
Catholics.
•
In Scotland, Calvinist preacher
John Knox helped overthrow a
Catholic queen.
•
Full list pg 241, last
paragraph.
To escape persecution in England, groups of Calvinists
sailed for America in the early 1600s.

Heightened passions about religion also resulted
in intolerance and persecution.
•
Between 1450 and 1750, tens of thousands were killed
as witches, especially in the German states,
Switzerland, and France. Most were women.
•
Witches were seen as agents of the devil and thus
anti-Christian.
•
Non Christians, midwives and Anabaptists were often
accused of witch craft and devil worship.

The Churches Response to the Reformation
Council of TrentChurch officials met off and on over several decades to
discuss the direction of reform. Agreed that
1. Reaffirmed Church Tradition
2. Voted to end and penalize Corruption
3. Established Schools (so clergy can argue
with educated protestants.)
