According to historians although the Crusades failed to drive the Muslims from Jerusalem or Byzantium, which was the initial purpose, they had major effects on the European civilisation. We can identify social, cultural, economic and scientific effects.
<em>1) The Crusades may have extended the Church authority, but they also caused social problems and upheavals.</em>
<em>2) Through the Crusades, European and Middle Eastern cultures affected eachother. The European civilisation met new types of goods, furniture etc.</em>
<em>3) Europeans improved in trade and exploration.</em>
<em>4) Scientific knowledge from the Middle East was adopted and brought back to Europe.</em>
In these ways the Crusades actually formed a basis for the coming Renaissance.

Mona Lisa
by Leonardo da Vinci.
Mona Lisa is a half length painting of a woman painted in the renaissance period. The woman has a tiny smile so small you have to really look to see it. The painting is very somber with greens and browns. The woman’s sitting with her hands crossed across her abdomen. She is wearing a brown dress with a brown shawl draped on. Her nose is long and slender, she had high defined cheekbones, and tiny lips. The woman’s hair is straight, brown, and middle parted.
What sticks out the most is Mona Lisa’s smile.
This sticks out because despite how sad the painting looks she is smiling nonetheless.
The artist might have wanted to show the lady’s beauty and the theme.
I think the meaning was to just show of Lisa’s looks.
The tone is low and somber and haunting as her eyes follow you and her tiny smile.
I like this piece because it is a classic honored by many that holds emotion.
