HISTORY OF IDEAS – The Renaissance


The phenomenon known as the Renaissance cycle
Any “tour” associated with the history of Western culture is one of the standard “stops”.
It covers about 300 years in Europe,
architects, poets and philosophers have come together again with the style and ambitions of ancient Greek and Roman civilization.
The causes of the Renaissance period are somewhat blurry today.
High-minded and respected information may seem completely clear,
or more impatient or focused on technology
Implementation will be spent exactly the same time.
We believe that the main reason for learning history
to get some good, provocative and inspirational ideas
lost in the past,
their dilemma and the problems of our own time.
As we have seen in our Renaissance era, there are some old dead dead
so it really will be with us.
Florence, Italy, 1469
Lorenzo de ‘Medici, one of the largest Florence family, is a 20-year-old nobleman
Family business deals:
Medici Bank,
It has been in operation since 1397
and is Europe’s most respected financial institution
Florence, Venice, Rome and Geneva branches with blossoming.
Lorenzo is a great gift for business as before, like his uncle and his father.
Lifetime bank, Basel, Bruges, Avignon, Pisa,
royal courts, aristocrats, and entrepreneurs.
Lorenzo and his family are typically the upper grades of Florentine age
respectfully earn money
There is no doubt that most Christian communities have no traditional doubts.
But Medicies are not the only ones who want to make money
they are also extremely ambitious to spend money.
People now think that charity is an open-ended goal
the world to promote beauty, truth and wisdom.
Lorenzo de Medici’s father had a book collection
Known as The Medici Library
Lorenzo is now expanding decisively
With his researchers, he cleans Europe of monasteries, courts and libraries
missed or abducted text.
Lorenzo was a great patron of philosophers
Marsilio Ficino, Poliziano and Giovanni Pico della Mirandola.
Under his leadership, these philosophers took advanced investigations into Greek philosophy.
Epicurus, Cicero, and Aristotle
Try to harmonize Plato’s theories with Christianity.
Lorenzo is perhaps known as a boss of art.
Her triumphants included Verrocchio, Leonardo, Botticelli, Ghirlandaio and Michelangelo.
The target was very intimate and involved.
Mikelancelo lived for five years with Lorenzo and his family,
eating and participating at the table Discussions by Marsilio Ficino.
Although the medici is incredibly rich, modern standards,
Their wealth was relatively moderate.
For four decades, from 1430 to 1470,
The Medici family was estimated to have approximately half a meter equivalent
intellectual billion dollar patronage, architecture and artwork,
is a large amount compared to average earnings, but not much
This is the wealth of the richest people today,
The sources of the Medici family will be Rosa Cafferata’s wealth
A fishing business in Peru is about $ 1.5 billion.
He is one of the richest men in the world.
Lorenzo seemed to be economically inaccessible to Giorgio Armani of $ 8.5 billion,
and an unlikely future Bill Gates, 79 billion.
The money was important for Lorenzo and his family to be skeptical.
That is to say, the world has been incredibly well placed to continue with its footprint.
There is no difficulty to do so He did everything.
But what keeps us up today is a shortage of sight.
For the price of this yacht, Lorenzo has increased the exploitation of the Renaissance for 30 years.
The confidentiality of Medici’s influence was that they did not see themselves as there
artists, architects and academics do everything they want to give just to allow.
Medicies were a mission to the vision, art and philosophy,
and we’re not extremely straight forward and put it in a didactic and useful way.
His friend Ficino, who was driven by his philosopher, thought Lorenzo was some kind of art.
Under his patronage, the artists had a desire
show the basic philosophical truths, and talk about the importance of affection and compassion.
Happiness and diligence honored the state’s best features and good leadership.
If Renaissance just had the leading members of cash collecting, it would never be remembered.
No one for any length time does not think about it.
The true source of his glory was imagination and intelligence
his big bankers and their money spending their money.
Fulda Monastery, Germany, January 1417
Italian scientist and humanist Poggio Bracciolini, on a tour of Germany and Switzerland,
They try to lose Greek and Roman manuscripts.
Spends some weeks in Benedictine Monastery,
On the dusty shelves of the large library, hunting,
in a forgotten corner, makes one of the great discoveries of all Renaissance.
It still consists of left-handed manuscripts Lucretius, de Rerum Natura,
About the nature of things that give us the most complete account we have
philosophy and outlook of the Greek world philosopher Epikurus.
Bracciolini and his circle are surprised.
Epicurus, human passions, happiness,
religion, social life and science.
This only saved the lost handwritings of the importance of a career.
Over time, Bracciolini is to continue finding the essential text by Cicero, Quintillion and Vitruvius.
When he could not write, he did not object to a small scandal to get what he wanted.
Roman historian bribed a cousin to reflect Libya’s image
Germany Hersfeld Abbey Library.
Bracciolini was very sensitive, but he was interested in classical texts
The term is not a scientist,
Someone who wants to explore the past for himself
respect for the original reputation of old books.
Renaissance’s attitude to history and philosophy was very different.
His intellectual leaders have taken a tough and practical look at something.
First of all, their societies wanted to succeed,
to make their peoples wise, and to build majestic cities.
Epicuria philosophy emphasizes Braccioli
friendship, simplicity and limitations
Because he was not interested in him because he was old, but because his wisdom was still needed.
He was looking for an ancient idea to fill the missing information about how the past was passed
perhaps to earn a professorship at a university,
Braccioli urgently sought help in creating better thinking styles for the day.
Central Florence, 1484
Cosimo de Medici complements Michelozzo di Bartolomeo, the family-loving architect:
Palazzo Medici, a new cathedral near the city.
Michelozzo closely studied Roman antiques
and the triumphal rise of the building is beautifully expressed
The characteristic Renaissance spirit of rationality, consistency and harmony.
This is a golden age in construction in Florence.
Leon Battista Alberti made it to the front of the Church of Santa Maria Novella,
Brunelleschi put Spedale Degli Innocenti
and the new domed dome of the city
and the names of very few well-known squares, fountains and sidewalks.
The same is true for other adults in Siena, Venice, Urbinino, Mantua and the Renaissance cities of Rome.
Fathers in the city fell in love with a new idea of ​​the Italian peninsula:
their cities should be in the focus of attention.
A bit embarrassing for the opposition These efforts with our own efforts.
A sentimental view says Renaissance made beautiful places for the city’s fathers to be happy:
They did not need planning for cars,
they did not have the rules to sign and they could also include quality building materials
Like a beautiful stone you can get from the hearths on the edge of Florence.
But successful urbanization is never an accident.
For Renaissance, it was a philosophical mission.
Renaissance created such a great city:
we were shaped by the nature of buildings around us.
It is more than luxury to make sure that the public domain is dignified and calm.
This can help ensure the health, strength and happiness of the entire population.
In addition, urbaners and architects believed in rules.
They did not think the city was a good chance.
They wrote the volume of the coding they should work and what they should avoid,
systematization and attempts to think carefully to improve a good street corner, floor, or bench.
They put their efforts to embarrass us.
They believed in the ideal sizes in the squares,
one square should be small enough
can be called from a parent window to a child playing on the other side.
All good squares should have large fountains in the middle,
but the surrounding buildings should be quite flat.
They knew that the building had to be five stories high
and should be elegantly covered arcades,
so citizens could be inclined to everything weather.
Renaissance leaders like Medici have been mentioned with the views of ancient Roman historian Sallust
A deeply rooted enemy of a situation in the Roman period,
Places in the words “Publika egestas privatim opulentia”
public squalor and personal wealth.
Sallust firmly believed that the Renaissance leaders had firmly believed in a healthy society
The public sphere itself should be richer Beautifully graceful and charming.
In this way, rich people in the community will never want to leave
just concentrate on themselves Private apartments and comforts
and all citizens will be glad to see the social life.
Respect for these efforts is that there are very few cities in the world
it is more beautiful than a few created on the Italian peninsula for a hundred years.
But this is a testimony of hopelessness and lack of vision
on the one hand we can tell the number of cities built since the Renaissance
Florence or better say Venice.
Ideally, we should not be so affected by the Renaissance cities.
We will inspire the arrival and equality of the achievements of their era in the architectural style.
Frari Church, Venice, 1488
58 years old Venetian artist Giovanni Bellini
a triptych completes the central panel baby Jesus and his mother.
Christian painters paint this scene for many centuries
but over the past few hundred years, it has been a convincing thing.
So far, Mary and her younger son have often gone and have a wooden,
but with Jesus Bellini only a real little boy.
One species we look at in the Lido Rivers,
he began to look for swollen feet and eyes.
Marriage is equally vibrant, vibrant and feels deeply attractive and interesting.
we can imagine his bitter thoughts,
and its kind of Intuit sympathetic and glorious nature.
When some child care is available,
it may be nice to invite her to the Frari Church a few steps away from the gelateria Grom.
It was not so strange and weird that a great many geniuses
Art so briefly came to the fore in a place somewhere.
Renaissance gave Italy the world civilization
Donatello, Frangelico, Whichello, Masaccio, Filippo Lippi, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titan and others.
How did it happen? How much talent can you get on the road?
Any age is quarrelsome in the same amount of secret talent among his artists.
Certain ages make it unusual,
one in Athens, the Netherlands, the 19th century France or the 1960s America’s Golden Age
they know what to do with talent.
They give the artist a task.
Because they know clearly what art is,
thus rewarding the artist with the right investment.
What is differentiating Renaissance is therefore not a freakish advantage of mastery skills.
This is a pretty clear reference to what should be art.
Renaissance can be described as the hero’s age of advertising.
However, the sale of consumer goods was not paid attention.
Wisdom began to go into beauty, truth and sell.
The energy that still feels behind their own art came from a related ideological program.
Renaissance wanted to put a drawing in the ideas service
and make these ideas palpable, effective, and changing lives.
The Renaissance’s constant advertising is philosophy.
Philosophies had the minds of many, then abstract and distant figures.
Thus Renaissance is one of Rafael’s most talented artists
To give them a little life on the walls of the Vatican,
Aristotle, Plato, and others to a glamorous, interesting group of people.
Titan Titans was employed to convey a central philosophical message about the shortening of life.
The existence of the three centuries of human existence is generally described as a shamelessness.
The child soon adults and adults are aging soon
and retrospectively, all these are pretty fast,
we make the right use of our time properly,
We have to forgive each other of our compassion,
and still have time, attention to our potential.
Titian and his boss knew it, but most people do not want to think about how short life is.
There is a great advantage over the place and philosophy of art.
Titian Begins Everyone in the Renaissance liked it:
sexy couples and lovely baby angels.
The picture is designed to take you, even without feeling hilarious
naturally you start dealing with life and death issues.
This is a bit of movement today’s best ads
I hope to be interested in buying a chocolate bar or SUV
A beautiful couple or a spectacular view of the landscape.
In the theory of evolution, the purpose of philosophical art was worthy of effort.
It was the advertising of great truths, such as the Renaissance concept of art
philosophy laid the foundation of an ideology developed by Marsilio Ficino.
The figure taught by Renzo de Medici and speaking with Michelangelo for many years every day.
Ficino argued that we all have loving creatures
and love firstly to beauty,
so we want people to love beauty and beauty should be the first
first encountered as sexual intercourse.
That is, the highest possible way is that human ideals tend to fall from a complex root:
then sexual intercourse
for beauty
and then love.
The Renaissance art has such a theory and influence
can not be very valuable.
Ficino is able to use what we want from sexual desire, charm, and celebrity
to serve the most noble and high-minded intellectual ambitions
they have not been dropped, often in our time
sell bags or mobile phones.
Earlier or so great ideas are very beautiful and often have sexually transmitted diseases of great artists.
Ficino and Lorenzo were also impressed by the medician
The idea of ​​Botticelli’s involvement is to excite us in our sexuality
about ideas that are most useful for humanity.
There are so many things to do in Botticelli’s work.
Very attractive figures inside it, for example, Primavera
thoughtful, kind and serious, and sometimes very sad.
They are full of sensitivity to human griefs and failures
I want to remind you that you need us.
They are also highly attractive.
You do not have to believe your virtues.
But I want to be your instinctive,
so you will try to be morally upright.
This genius is shared by philosophers like Ficino, rich political leaders like Lorenzo
Botticelli had to sort out artists like the main desire of the good side.
So, for us to be good, sweet, and intellectually enthusiastic
Because we rejected all our charms, which is hardly possible for everyone to do
but with the help of all the temptations the world.
Instead of renouncing beauty and sexual desires and calmness,
Renaissance leaders deeply
scientific and attractive people stop them and reach their goals.
This, first of all, helps this action. Give the Renaissance artistic consistency on the basis of mission
and today is an artist who makes us attractive.
In our society Renaissance has many prestige.
We think about this because we are traveling around major cities, remembering dates, and taking the basic jobs
but this is what gives respect to innovation.
Our eyes are not to look at the world
uses our world to look at the eyes.
With these geniuses, we must try to create Renaissance in their own communities.
Learning about lessons from them is about making big money
maybe gained intelligence with finances,
how to use humanity to improve their lives for admiring the scientific community,
To spend the right energy to create beautiful cities to live in
How can the power of art be used to make good things in the world attractive and desirable?
We learn more than just dutifull tourists
to absorb our nation’s ambitions Leaders who can move away from a Renaissance study
all the great Renaissance figures wanted us to be
to do the things that really matter,
trying to change our world in a better way.
