What elements of propaganda are in cranach's woodcut?

History
1 answer:
Mrrafil [7]3 years ago
6 0

Lucas Cranach was a German Renaissance painter and printmaker in woodcut and engraving. He dedicated part of his career to embrace the Protestant Reformation. During his time, printed images varied from devotional and edifying to the criticism which could be drawn by Protestant illustrators both to condemn the Church of their day and to present an alternative ideology in positive terms.

As an element of propaganda, Cranach represented a contrast between the Christ compelled to carry his cross and the Pope carried in a litter. By doing that, the artist not only criticizes ostentation but also makes the metaphysical point that the true supporters of Christ involve suffering. It is consequently difficult to make a hard and fast distinction between positive and negative illustrations in these pamphlets.

Another polemical woodcut included the Cranach`s Revelation of St. John, most famously the depictions of the beast in the temple and of the prostitute of Babylon wearing papal tiaras. The tiaras proved controversial and were quickly withdrawn; but their original inclusion exemplifies the extraordinary freedom Luther felt able to apply in relation to the form of the holy text, provided that its essence was retained.

What social class would you want to be part of if you were living<br> in medieval Europe, and why?
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Noble class

Explanation:

Historically, in medieval Europe, the system that was in use was the feudal system and it had three distinct social classes which were:

  • A king
  • A noble class
  • Peasant class

I would like to be part of the noble class which includes nobles, priests, and princes. The noble class rented out their lands to peasants and the King was the one who owned all lands but gave out lands to his nobles for their use.

Being a king would sound like a tempting proposition but personally, I do not think I am cut out for being a King and ruling over a kingdom, so being a noble is the next best thing because I'm just part of the ruling class who rules over the commoners. Moreso, the word 'nobility' in medieval Europe also included members of the society who were in leadership positions because of their wealth, political position or specialized training.

5. How did the slave trade contribute to the rise of industry in Britain?
Ganezh [65]

From 1750 onwards a new industry emerged in Britain - the production of cotton cloth. Wool production had previously been Britain's major industry, but cotton had one key advantage - machinery could process cotton fibres better than wool.

As a result it was in cotton production that the industrial revolution began, particularly in and around Manchester. The cotton used was mostly imported from slave plantations. Slavery provided the raw material for industrial change and growth.

The growth of the Atlantic economy was an integral part of the growth of exports - for example manufactured cotton cloth was exported to Africa.

The Atlantic economy can be seen as the spark for the biggest change in modern economic history. The Atlantic economy in the 1700s was founded on slave labour.
