Renaissance

Renaissance art focuses on humans, including lots of statues.

The Renaissance didn't really happen.

The Renaissance started between the 15th and 16th century.

The venetians had the most money in the Renaissance.

In the renaissance, it was thought that the earth was the center of the universe. WRONG.

The sun is the centre of our solar system, but it isn't the center of the universe.

The renaissance was a time where art just flooded through europe.

Florence made cloth and Milan made weps.

Genoa was also a very rich city state. A new challenger appears.

Money from trade with the ottomans could get OVER 9000!!!111!!1 WHAT 9000 THATS IMPOSSIBLE.

Europe is the center of art, life and history.

Donatello and Raphael were born 900 years apart.

The Renaissance was a huge recurring thing, happening and not happening all of the time.

Greek buildings and Renaissance buildings look kinda similar. KINDA KINDA KINDA.

Greek Buildings tend to be ruins.

Literature, history and philosophy were studied in the Renaissance.

Muslim scholars were interested in greek history.

The fall of byzantine meant that a lot of greek philosophers ran away to venice.

Europe was enlightened, and unenlightened, and finally reenlightened for the rest of history until now.

Petrarch and Montaigne were born 200 years apart, that's almost as long as the united states of america has existed! Don't believe me? Just do history on both those topics, stupid.

The scholars which commented on ancient writings were called humanists for some reason.

Venice was richer than Genoa, because venice was the richest city state ever then.

The muslim world was pretty much the source of what the renaissance professors were studying.

The french revolution was one of the times when people knew that they were living history.

The renaissance was mostly visual art, but there was also literature in it.

The Renaissance was a burst of European culture right after the dark ages.

The Dark Ages was terrible for literature, because the Christians burned a lot of books. Not anymore though.

If you squint and ignore that greek buildings tend to be ruins, you might be able to believe that the renaissance buildings are Greek.

The Renaissance artists were religious.

Italy really spawned the renaissance, because of venice.

A city has to be super rich to support artists and stuff like that.

Milan didn't make as much money as venice, but they were pretty good at making guns.

Assassins creed takes place in the renaissance.

The medichees mined alum.

It is true that the ideas introduced into europe in the 15th and 16th century were important.

They only tried to mine alum to make the turks go bankrupt.

Aristotle was pretty much wrong abut everything. Actually! NO! Not everything!

Copernicus was right.

Italy was STINKING RICH. STINKING RICH.  That's the whole reason that it started the renaissance. Do you know why? Because they traded with the ottomans. The ottomans also helped by selling alum to them, but a guy found a better solution, and sent a letter to the pope saying "Today I bring you victory over the Turk. Every year they wring from the Christians more than 300,000 ducats for the alum which we dye wool various colors...

But I have found seven mountains so rich in this material that they could supply seven worlds.
If you will give orders to engage workmen, build furnaces and smelt the ore, you will provide all Europe with alum and the Turk will lose all his profits. Instead they will accrue to you..." I got that from crash course. Crash Course, know what it is? I watch that. Haven't noticed yet? You are one big weirdo.

The story goes that the renaissance started the modern era for Secularism, rationality, logic, literature, and individualism.

The renaissance is normally thought to be just based on arts. That is true. The Literary Arts were also there too!

The Renaissance was pretty much like this. "Hey look at this bro!" "What mike?" "Leo, I think that I found something greek, and we should turn it modern!" Great idea Michelangelo! We'll start tomorrow!" Invite Raphael, Donatello and Copernicus to work with us!" "Good Idea bro." "But we need moneys." "Umm, Mike? You live in Italy." "And what does that mea..... Oh." And then the renaissance started. Don't believe anything I said in this story, it's just an example.

Italian alum mines didn't do much.

The muslim world was pretty much the source of what renaissance professors studied.

Istanbul was the library for the humanists, they got most of their greek books there!

Bye! For a long time! I Vill Be Bak.
