Renaissance
Background
Some people that were involved during the renaissance were the Medici family, many different artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.
The Renaissance happened in Florence, Italy.
The Renaissance happened in Italy because the it was a place where that had wealth and power in the church.

The Renaissance is important because it teaches us the power of looking to the past for insights and inspiration. Without the past people wouldn't be able to look back on what happened for guidance in the future. It is also important because it shows us the importance of innovation which means the things people made or invented in the past can be reengineered and made better for this time period. It also is important because it thrived by connecting the past, present and future.
Medici Family
The Medici Family was basically the ruler of Florence. They bet on a pirate to become pope and then when he became pope he gave all the money to the Medici Bank so they got popular and rich. They were the wealthiest family in Italy which meant they had a lot of power. Their role in the Renaissance was the Catholic bank.
Some of the people who were involved with or in the Medici family were artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. Those of two of the most famous painters and the Medici family supported them.
The Medici Family came to power by being the wealthiest in Florence and being the bank for the Catholic Church. They also came to power by being a supported of the arts.
The Medici Family matters because they had a major impact with arts and humanism. The Medici Family ruled Florence and had a huge influence with the Renaissance.
Humanism

Humanism is definitely around today. For example, many people are nonreligious and therefore create their own values and ethics rather than conforming to what religion says.
Art
Skill and Technique- I don't think that there is much skill to go with this painting but it definitely took a long time to complete. There are many good details that stand out.
-
Beauty in Art- I really like the way this painting looks, there is lots of creation and it's not just a plain painting with nothing on it. This painting would stand out in a crowd.
Just by looking at the painting I can't tell if there's a meaning but this artist probably has an explanation about what this piece of art it.

Beauty in Art- I really like how this looks like a picture and looks very life like.
Skill and Technique- The details on the buildings are very good and also how he portrayed the townspeople is also very good.
Why did he decide to not put animals in the picture?
Why did he not add any markets or people selling stuff?
Why did he decide to add a church?
This certain artist decided to have neutral colors throughout his painting and no bright colors so nothing really stands out in the painting.
This painting is fully one style and that style is realistic because of the church, the townspeople, and the other building and streets.
I think the meaning of this art is to show what that time of the Renaissance looked like. This painting also showed what kind of fashion there was.
Comparing each Painting
-
-
The painting from the Renaissance was very elegant and had lots of real life meaning but the other painting is kind of just smudges.
Artists
The Renaissance was full of new artist because they wanted to be artists and couldn't before because of tradition and they way of life. But since the Renaissance and the rebirth artist could finally break the norm and be artists. There were also many artists that followed in the footsteps of their artists peers.
I think we are living in a Renaissance today because there are still the same things just different time periods. For example there are always new artists coming and evolving throughout many years just like the Renaissance did. The Renaissance said that they were guided from what has happened in the past rather if it's good or bad. Today we are still guided by what we do from what has happened in the past. We still have about the same social class as they had then. For example, the Medici family was the highest class in Italy and today someone like Steve Jobs is a higher class citizen too. Another way we are still living in a Renaissance is that innovation is the same. People thrive off others ideas and make innovations better and better everyday. The only reason I would think why we wouldn't be living in a Renaissance is because of the way women were treated then versus how they are treated now.
