The Renaissance
• Means “rebirth”
– Specifically a revival in art & literature
• Began in the northern Italian city-
states in the 1300s, lasted until around
the 1600s

Why did the Renaissance start in Italy?
1. Thriving Cities– Trade led to growth of city-states, making them very rich &
powerful
• Exs: Florence, Pisa, Venice, Genoa, Milan
– Controlled trade on the Mediterranean Sea
– Economic Changes
• When the plague struck, it left fewer laborers
• Survivors demanded higher wages
• Expanded the middle class, which began to pursue other interests, like art, because there were few opportunities to expand business

Why did the Renaissance start in Italy?
2. Classical heritage of Greece & Rome– Artists & scholars of Italy drew inspiration from the
ruins of Rome that surrounded them
– Western scholars studied ancient Latin manuscripts that had been preserved in monasteries
– Christian scholars in Constantinople fled to Rome with Greek manuscripts when the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople in 1453

Why did the Renaissance start in Italy?
3. Wealthy Merchant Class
– Merchants dominated political life
• Did not inherit wealth, earned it
• Believed this gave them the right to be
powerful
– This belief in individual achievement became
important during the Renaissance, leading to new
art forms, biographies, and portraits
![Page 6: The Renaissance, & The Reformation · Donatello • Donatello was the greatest . sculptor. of the Renaissance • Medieval sculptors only carved the ... – Poked fun at flaws in](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070821/5f1eb28696fe45665c35ce57/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why did the Renaissance start in Italy?
3. Wealthy Merchant Class
– Why Florence?
• Was mostly urban while the rest of Europe was
rural
• Because Florence was small, many of its
citizens could be involved in politics
• The Medici Family
– Banking family that ruled Florence’s gov’t
– Used wealth to be generous patrons of the arts

Niccolò Machiavelli
• Wrote The Prince (1513)– Writings demonstrated the value of humanism (more to come
on this later)
– A guidebook for rulers
– Recommended realistic actions a ruler could take to stay in power
– Machiavelli wrote that it a ruler should be kind and generous if able, but it is better to “be feared than loved”
– A ruler should use any means necessary to achieve goals
• The “end justifies the means”
![Page 8: The Renaissance, & The Reformation · Donatello • Donatello was the greatest . sculptor. of the Renaissance • Medieval sculptors only carved the ... – Poked fun at flaws in](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070821/5f1eb28696fe45665c35ce57/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
From this arises the question whether it is better to be loved more than feared, or feared more than loved. The reply is, that one ought to be both feared and loved, but as it is difficult for the two to go together, it is much safer to be feared than loved, if one of the two has to be wanting. For it may be said of men in general that they are ungrateful, voluble [changeable], dissemblers [liars], anxious to avoid danger, and covetous of gain; as long as you benefit them, they are entirely yours; they offer you their blood, their goods, their life, and their children, as I have before said, when the necessity is remote; but when it approaches, they revolt. And the prince who has relied solely on their words, without making preparations, is ruined.
- Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

Ideas About Life Change
• People remained devoutly Catholic– The spirit of society, however, was secular
(worldly)
• Church leaders and the wealthy believed they could enjoy life and liberty without offending God
– This is humanism (again, more on this later)

Artists & Sculptors
• Influenced by Greeks & Romans
• Emphasis on individual caused:– Portraits of prominent citizens, showing what was distinctive about
each
– Glorification of the human body in natural postures
– Perspective to enhance realism
• Drawing objects smaller if they are far away (3D)
• Architecture– No more Gothic
– Returned to columns and domes
Perspective

The Renaissance Woman
• Should study the Classics
• Could write, dance, paint, and make music well
• Should NOT seek fame or political power
– Renaissance women were far better educated but had fewer rights than Medieval women

papal authority. The emperor, a devout Catholic, also felt threatened.

the New Testament into German. When he returned to Wittenberg, he found many of his ideas already in use. He and his followers had become a separate religious group called Lutherans.

earn salvation & said that God chooses a very few people to save, called the “elect”
God has known since the beginning of time who will be saved

the fastest growing Protestant religion in Europe

The Catholic Counter ReformationThree Driving Forces:2. Reform of Papacy
In response to corruption within the ChurchPope Paul III
Had a council of cardinals investigate abuses within the Church
Approved the Jesuit orderUsed the Inquisition to identify & punish heresy in papal
territoriesConvened the Council of Trent

The Catholic Counter ReformationThree Driving Forces:3. Council of Trent (1545-1563)
Reaffirmed the split between the Catholic & Protestant churchesCatholic bishops & cardinals agreed on several doctrines:
The Church's interpretation of the Bible was final. Any Christian who substituted his or her own interpretation was a heretic.
Christians needed faith and good works for salvation. They were not saved by faith alone, as Luther argued.
The Bible and Church tradition were equally powerful authorities for guiding Christian life.
Indulgences were valid expressions of faith. But the false selling of indulgences was banned.

1534:English Parliament approved the Act of Supremacy.
Cause:Henry VIII needed to annul his marriage to Catherine
of Aragon and remarry in order to have a male heir. When the pope would not agree to this, Henry called a Reformation Parliament to strip away the pope’s power in England. The Act of Supremacy completed this break with the pope by making the king the head of England’s church.
This was different from the Protestant Reformation because it took place for political reasons
Effect:Henry closed all English monasteries and seized their
wealth and land. This act increased royal power as well as the king’s treasury.

1559:Parliament established the AnglicanChurch
Cause:Elizabeth I returned England from Catholicsm
(under Queen Mary) to Protestantism and asked Parliament to set up a national church.

church in England and people were required to attend its services. Elizabeth organized the church so that both Catholic moderates and Protestant moderates might accept it.
