Man's vision of man has suddenly been interfered with by a long, seemingly endless period, commonly known as "The Renaissance." In Europe, around the 14th century, there was a massive explosion of entirely new advances in science and culture, so great that they changed the way humans thought about themselves and others around them. In fact, the impact of this explosion was so tremendous that it lasted for centuries to come. The Renaissance is a rebirth of new art developed by us, humans (which was really a great thing at the time), although it seems more like an explosion of sudden ideas created by man and man himself. Incidentally, these changes have appeared across the lines of creation, thought and education – particularly in art, literature and astronomy. Painting is one of the most evident and clear proofs of the break with medieval culture. Painting is a visual concept of art used to show expression or mood towards a subject or matter in question. For example, a painting of a woman sitting with a sad look on her palms could express someone feeling depressed about themselves. Painting is what led to the creation of one of the most recognizable works of pop art ever known to mankind: The Mona Lisa. What really caught the eye about the Mona Lisa was how well the painting was presented. The Mona Lisa provided a well-defined landscape (Doc. A), a natural fold in the drapery (Doc. A), and a three-dimensional figure (Doc. A). In contrast to the 1200-year-old painting by Italian artist Duccio di Buoninsega, you can see how similar and different Leonardo da Vinci's 1500-year-old “Mona Lisa” was. It was quite easy to see the developments that were made between the two paintings and I really appreciate this artist... middle of paper... the church because they thought their followers would have second thoughts about the church yes. The church thought the studies would lead people to believe that just because the church was wrong about one thing, perhaps it could be wrong about many other things. Where would the Church have gone without followers? Would people have thought they were destined to govern themselves independently? To summarize all this, the Renaissance had a truly great impact on the people of Europe, completely changing their point of view on man. The Renaissance opened a new vision of art, literature and astronomy and connected them more closely to men. It proved many new theories, and with the supported evidence, they highlighted the fundamental importance of man in life and questioned the authenticity of the Catholic Church. Maybe that man is much more valuable than we thought.
