Answer:

Explanation:

In U.S. colonial history, the Sugar Act, also known as the Plantation Act or Tax Act, (1764), the British legislation aimed at ending the smuggling of sugar and molasses from the French and Dutch West Indies and having increased taxes during the French and Indian War to finance expanded British Empire obligations. In fact, the Sugar Act called for strict customs regulation of duty on refined sugar and molasses imported from non-British Caribbean suppliers into the colonies, a reinvigoration of the previously unsuccessful Molasses Act of 1733. The 1764 Revenue Act, also known as the Sugar Act, was the first levy levied by the British Parliament on the American colonies. Its goal was to increase revenue from the colonial customs service and to grant more authority and latitude to customs officers with regard to the execution of seizures and customs law enforcement.

explain at least 3 ways renaissance art differed from medieval art. included specific examples of renaissance artwork (the name
grigory [225]

A great example of this is the painting The Flagellation of Christ by Piero della Francesca (1415-1492). It is a very good illustration of the Golden Rule (Rule of thirds): an image should be imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines, and that important compositional elements should be placed along these lines or their intersections. Proponents of the technique claim that aligning a subject with these points creates more tension, energy and interest in the composition than simply centering the subject. The Golden Rule was invented in Ancient Greece which shows that the painter was not only knowledgeable in Classical Culture but that he wanted to emulate it in his work and us its techniques. Additionally, the very lucid perspective of the painting which is quite realistic is also in rupture with the flatter medieval perspective that was the norm until then. Della Francesca's painting was considered scandalous in his time because the 3 dignitaries are not only much bigger than Christ being flogged but are also positioned in the foreground and occupy the main intersections of the golden ration rectangle. This was a breaking change of philosophy since giving human beings the most important compositional place within the frame expresses a humanist view. The Christ, who is much smaller and put on the background, symbolizes the reduced place of religion in society, a stark contrast with the ideology of the Middle Ages.
