The Italian Renaissance was one of the most productive periods in the history of art, with large numbers of outstanding masters to be found in many centers and in all the major fields painting, sculpture, and architecture. In Florence, in the first half of the fifteenth century, there were great innovators in all these fields, whose work marked a beginning of a new era in the history of art. These innovators included Masaccio in painting, Brunelleschi in architecture, and Donatello in sculpture. Their new ideals and methods were systematized in the theoretical writings of their friend and fellow artist Leon Battista Alberti. There can also be observed in this period a change in the social status of the artist. Heretofore, he had been an artisan, a craftsman. Now the attempt was made to include artists among the practitioners of the "liberal arts," which were regarded as being on a higher level than the "mechanical arts." These efforts bore fruit, and some of the great masters, for example, Titian and Michelangelo, by the force of their genius and personality, were able to achieve a measure of status and respect rarely enjoyed by their predecessors. The idea of artistic genius became popular; Michelangelo was called "divine" because of the greatness of his creative powers.
In the Renaissance, art and science were closely connected. Both the artist and the scientist strove for the mastery of the physical world, and the art of painting profited by two fields of study that may be called scientific: anatomy, which made possible a more accurate representation of the human body, and mathematical perspective. Perspective in painting is the rendering on a two- dimensional surface of the illusion of three dimensions. Previous painters had achieved this effect by empirical means, but the discovery of a mathematical method of attaining a three-dimensional impression is attributed to Brunelleschi in about 1420. Henceforth, the method could be systematically studied and explained, and it became one of the chief instruments of artists, especially painters, in their pursuit of reality. Some men were both artists and scientists, notably Leonardo da Vinci and Piero della Francesca. It is doubtful whether they would have understood our distinction between art and science.
Answer:
Woodrow Wilson, Bill Clinton
Explanation:
The southern states were a society based on a division of classes. White Society and Black Society.
The White society was divided between:
Planters: The rich class that held the majority of the wealth of the southern states with them.
Middle class: Composed mostly by farmers who lived modestly growing cotton and corn.
Poor whites: Did not possess slaves and struggled for a survivor.
The Black Society was divided into:
Free black people: They usually bought they own freedom with money they saved.
Mulattoes: People of mixed breed that had plantations. They had limited rights and had to carry documents that proved they were free, if not they would become bonded laborers again.
Slaves: Tied to their owners usually resided in slave quarters away from their masters home.
Answer:
Parliament responded by enforcing the Coercive Acts of 1774.
Explanation:
When the Boston Tea Party took place, Parliament was furious. Hence, they passed the Coercive Acts of 1774, which included 4 different statements:
The Boston Port Act stated that until damages from the Boston Tea Party were paid off, the Boston Ports would be closed.
The Massachusetts Government Act restricted Massachusetts, stating that democratic town meetings turned the government council into an appointed body.
The Administration of Justice Act stated that any British Official was immune to criminal prosecution in Massachusetts.
The Quartering Act required colonists to house British soldiers on demand, and possibly using their private homes as a last resort.
Those are the 4 Technical Acts of the Coercive Acts of 1774, but there's a 5th act that correlates.
The Quebec Act extended freedom of of worship to Catholics in Canada, as well as letting Canadians carry on with their judicial system. It was added to the Coercive Acts of 1774 later after the Acts were passed, and it enraged the Sons of Liberty that much more.
Answer:
The oceanic crust would sink below the continental crust.
Explanation:
The Oceanic Crust is thicker than continental crust. The Oceanic crust is made with volcanic rocks. As both having differences in the density when active continental crust meets oceanic crust in subduction zones, the oceanic crust is typically pushed back into the mantle.
