Section 1: Italy—Birthplace of the Renaissance
Objectives:
1. To explain the conditions in Italy that gave rise to the Renaissance.
2. To identify the values and ideas prized during the Renaissance
3. To describe the artistic breakthrough and achievements of Renaissance artists.
4. To summarize the influential literary works and techniques of key Renaissance writers.
Italy: Birthplace of the Renaissance
During the late Middle Ages, Europeans suffered from both war and plague. Those who survived wanted to enjoy life.
As a result, they questioned the church, which taught Christians to endure suffering to get a heavenly reward. They also questioned the structures of medieval society, which blocked social advancement.
Educated people gradually began to reject medieval values and look to the classical past for ideas.

The Renaissance: Renaissance means “rebirth”—an explosion of
creativity in art, writing, and thought.
Started in northern Italy around 1300 and later spread north. Rest of Europe lagged behind because England and
France were locked in the Hundred Years’ War.
Italy’s great advantages included: Thriving cities
Wealthy merchant class
Classical heritage of Greece and Roman Empire
Italy’s Advantages
City-States: Overseas trade had been spurred by the Crusades led
to the growth of cities.
Northern Italy had mainly urban centers while the rest of Europe was rural. This made them ideal for the spread of ideas.
The bubonic plague killed off almost 60% of the population in Europe. With fewer workers, survivors could get higher wages
With little opportunities for business expansion, wealthy merchants turned to other interests, such as art.
Italy’s Advantages
Merchants and the Medici:
City States in Italy were independent states and had their own governments and armies.
Because of trade, the wealthy merchant class rose to the top ranks with a bigger emphasis on individual achievement.
The Medici family became the most powerful family in Florence.
They had made their fortune in trade and banking.

Italy’s Advantages
Merchants and the Medici: Cosimo de Medici was the
wealthiest man in Europe in 1434.
He had complete control of Florence’s government but did not seek political office himself.
Instead he used his wealth to influence members of the ruling council.
In many ways, Cosimo ruled Florence as a virtual dictator.
Looking to Greece and Rome:
Renaissance scholars disliked the art and literature of the Middle Ages and wanted to bring back the learning of the Greek and Roman philosophers.
Classical forms reemerged as artists of the Renaissance became inspired by the ruins that surrounded them.
In the 1300s, scholars studied ancient Roman manuscripts preserved by monks.
When Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, Byzantine scholars fled to Rome with ancient Greek texts that had been thought to have been lost long ago.
Italy’s Advantages
Harlem Renaissance:
Renaissances have happened in other places and during other times.
In 1920s, the area of New York City called Harlem became the center of an artistic and literary rebirth.
African-American culture was celebrated and some famous African American artists emerged like:
Langston Hughes, Duke Ellington and Bessie Smith
Other Renaissances

Classics Lead to Humanism:
The study of the classical Greeks and Roman texts leads to humanism, which focused on human potential.
Scholars began to look at classical texts like the ancient Greeks did, which focused on human achievement, instead of giving Christianity credit for everything.
Humanist thinking influences artists and architects.
Humanists popularize the study of history, literature and philosophy.
In college course catalogs, these subjects are called the humanities.
Classical and Worldly Values
Worldly Pleasures:
Medieval society thought that suffering would get them to heaven.
Humanists said that people could enjoy the good life without offending God.
Wealthy people enjoyed material luxuries, fine music and tasty food.
While Renaissance society was mostly Catholic, they still believed in secular ideas—to live in the here and now.
Classical and Worldly Values
Patrons of the Arts:
In addition to living in luxury, Renaissance popes made Rome more beautiful by spending lavish amounts of money on beautiful art.
They became patrons of the arts by financially supporting artists.
Wealthy merchants like the Medicis supported the arts by donating buildings and beautiful art.
This way they showed their wealth and power.
Classical and Worldly Values

Classical and Worldly Values
The Renaissance Man: People during the
Renaissance believed that an educated people should create art and even master every area of study.
A book called The Courtier by Baldassare Castiglione pointed out that a young man should be witty, know literature, dance, sing, play music and write poetry. He should also be a good rider, wrestler and swordsman and have self control.
The term is now known as the Renaissance Man
Classical and Worldly Values
The Renaissance Woman: Castiglione suggested that
women of the Renaissance should also be educated and charming.
However, women were to inspire art, rather than create it.
Isabella d’Este did exercise power. She was a patron of the arts in the city of Mantua and had one of the finest collections of art in Europe. She was also good at politics
and when her husband was taken prisoner during the war she defended Mantua and won his release.
Art Advances in Northern Italy: Supported by wealthy patrons like Isabelle d’Este in
Mantua, Renaissance artists flourish in northern Italy.
While medieval art used religious themes to convey a spiritual ideal, Renaissance artists used religious subjects in a realistic style.
Patrons also want their own portraits painted, and for the money, Renaissance artists were happy to oblige.
Thanks to perspective, realism became popular.
Artists like the painter and sculptor Michelangelo glorified the human body.

Michelangelo was a true Renaissance man.
He excelled in all styles—painter, sculptor, architect and poet.
He was most famous for his glorious portrayal of the human body.
Influenced by the classics, he created figures that showed heroism and power.
By doing this, he explored what they called humanism.

New Trends in Writing:
During most of the Middle Ages, educated Europeans wrote everything in Latin.
Many Renaissance writers followed the style of Medieval writer Dante, who wrote in the vernacular—that is, his native language, Italian.
Renaissance writers wrote either for self expression or to portray the individuality of their subjects.
Renaissance Writers Change Literature
Petrarch and Boccaccio:
Francesco Petrarch was one of the most influential writers of the Renaissance.
He wrote sonnets—14-line poems—in both Latin and Italian.
He was a humanist and wrote a lot about a woman called Laura.
Italian writer Boccaccio is best know for the Decameron.
This was a series of off-color, cutting stories.

Women Writers:
Women writers of the Renaissance generally wrote of personal topics, not politics.
Vittoria Colonna had great influence as she collaborated with both Michelangelo and Castiglione.

Section 2: The Northern Renaissance
Objectives:
1. To explain the origins and characteristics of the Northern Renaissance.
2. To trace the impact of the Renaissance of German and Flemish painters.
3. To profile key Northern Renaissance writers.
4. To explain how printing spread Renaissance ideas.
The Northern Renaissance
The work of such artists as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael showed the Renaissance spirit.
All three artists demonstrated an interest in classical culture, a curiosity about the world, and a belief in human potential.
These ideas impressed scholars who visited Italy. Merchants also carried these ideas when they traveled out of Italy.
By the late 1400s, Renaissance ideas had spread to northern Europe—especially England, France, Germany and Flanders.

Renaissance Ideas Spread: The spirit of the Renaissance in Italy had impressed
visitors from Northern Europe
Most of Europe was finally recovering from the bubonic plague and the effects of the Hundred Years’ War when it ended in 1453.
As trade expands, northern merchants become wealthy and begin to sponsor artists—especially in Flanders.
Unlike Italy’s city states, England and France were unified under strong monarchs who are art patrons.
The Northern Renaissance Begins
Renaissance Ideas Spread: In France, King Francis I hired Renaissance artists and
even invited da Vinci to retire in France. Francis I’s royal palace, Fontainebleau, became a
showcase of the French Renaissance.
As ideas spread, the northern Renaissance took on its own, distinct style. Northern Renaissance artists were more interested in
realism.
Humanists in the north were interested in social reforms based on Christian values.
The Northern Renaissance Begins
Renaissance Styles Migrate North:
In 1494, a French king invaded Italy.
Many Italian artists and writers left and went north.
They brought many ideas of the Renaissance with them.
Artistic Ideas Spread

Artistic Ideas Spread
German Painters: The most famous painter
to leave Italy was Albrecht Dürer.
Dürer’s woodcuts and engravings emphasized realism and became popular.
Dürer’s work was influential and helped spread the Renaissance style.
Artistic Ideas Spread
German Painters: Another German
influenced by Dürer was Hans Holbein.
His style was so realistic that his portraits look like photographs.
He was extremely successful in England and enjoyed the patronage of King Henry VIII.
Flemish Painters:
The influence of the Hanseatic league on trade in the north led to the creation of wealthy merchant families.
As in Italy, they were attracted to the Renaissance emphasis on individualism and worldly pleasures.
Because of their wealth, Flanders became the artistic center of northern Europe.
Artistic Ideas Spread
10/24/2012
22
Artistic Ideas Spread
Flemish Painters: The first of the influential
Flemish painters was Jan van Eyck.
Van Eyck lived at the height of the Italian Renaissance.
Van Eyck worked with the newly developed medium of oil paints.
Since oil paints dry slowly, van Eyck created subtle colors by blending many layers of paint together.
This technique became popular and spread to Italy.
Van Eyck’s paintings are realistic and reveal the subject’s personality.
Artistic Ideas Spread
Flemish Painters: Flemish painting reached
it’s peak after 1550 with the work of Pieter Bruegel.
He used realism but also focused on everyday life, like peasants and so on.
He was able to subtly display many subjects at once.
He also protested Spanish rule of Flanders with some of his work,
Northern Humanists:
Renaissance ideas influenced writers in northern Europe just like they did in Italy.
These writers adopted the ideas of humanism.
They want to reform society and promote education, particularly for women.
While many writers criticized the Catholic Church, much of their work has a religious slant.
Writers start Christian Humanism.

Northern Writers Try to Reform Society
Christian Humanists: Desiderius Erasmus of Holland
and Thomas More of England are the best known of the Christian Humanists.
Erasmus wrote his most famous work In Praise of Human Folly while visiting More. In it, he pokes fun at greedy
merchants as well as pompous priests.
Erasmus believed that Christianity lived in the heart, not in ceremonies or rules established by clergy.
He believed that to improve society, people should study the Bible.
Northern Writers Try to Reform Society
Christian Humanists:
Thomas More of England was also concerned about society’s flaws.
In 1516, he wrote the book Utopia about an imaginary land with peace-loving people.
The word Utopia means “no place” but it has come to represent the ideal place because of More’s book.
Northern Writers Try to Reform Society
Christian Humanists: On the opposite end of
Erasmus and More, the French humanist Rabelais believed that human nature was good.
Rabelais believed that humans should live by natural instincts rather than religious rules.
While Erasmus and More wrote in Latin, Rabelais wrote in his vernacular French.

Women’s Reforms
Christine de Pizan was one of the first women writers of the Renaissance.
She had more humanistic ideals in her writing, and promoted education as well as equal treatment for boys and girls.

The Elizabethan Age
Queen Elizabeth I: In England, the
Renaissance occurred in the mid-1500s.
The Renaissance in England was called the Elizabethan Age after Queen Elizabeth I who reigned from 1558-1603.
Elizabeth spoke French, Italian, Latin and Greek. She wrote poetry and patronized artists and writers.
The Elizabethan Age
William Shakespeare: Shakespeare is often
regarded as the greatest playwright of all time.
Born in Stratford-Upon Avon in 1564, he was living and writing in London by 1592.
His work shows a masterful command of the English language, as well as an understanding of human tragedy.
Like many Renaissance writers, he revered the classics and drew on them for inspiration and plots.

Years before the printing press, the ancient Chinese had invented block printing where a carved block of wood would be inked and then pressed on paper.
In 1045, Bi Sheng invented moveable type, with separate characters were carved into blocks.
Since Chinese had thousands of characters, this method was impractical.
Printing Spreads Renaissance Ideas
Gutenberg Improves the Printing Process:
In the 1300s, Europeans were using block printing to print Renaissance books.
Unfortunately, the process was too slow.
Around 1440, Johann Gutenberg of Germany develops the printing press.
The printing press allows for quick, cheap book reproduction.
In 1455, the Gutenberg Bible was the first complete book to be printed with moveable type.
Printing Spreads Renaissance Ideas
Printing Spreads Learning: The printing press had a revolutionary effect on European
society.
It allowed for the cheap printing of mass copies of books.
By 1500, presses in European cities had printed between 9 and 10 million books.
New ideas spread more quickly than ever. The printing press made people want to read and therefore lead to increased literacy.
Writing in the vernacular also increased and Bibles were printed in this manner. Now people didn’t have to know Latin or Greek to read.

The Church Authority is Challenged:
Secularism and individualism of the Renaissance challenges the Church authority.
European rulers resented the pope’s authority over them.
The printing press increases literacy and spreads secular ideas.
Northern merchants resent paying the church taxes to Rome
Causes of the Reformation
Criticisms of the Catholic Church:
Critics claimed that church leaders were corrupt.
Popes lived extravagant lives, one even admitted to having children.
Lower clergy were poor, many were uneducated and couldn’t teach.
Some broke vows by marrying, gambling and drinking to excess.
People expected higher standards of conduct from priests and church leaders.
Causes of the Reformation
Early Calls for Reform: By the late 1300s and early 1400s, John Wycliffe of England and
John Huss of Bohemia denied that the pope had the right to worldly power.
Wycliffe and Huff also stress the Bible’s authority over the clergy’s.
Humanists like Erasmus and More were also vocal critics of the Church.
In 1497, the people of Florence burned their worldly possessions after hearing fiery sermons from an Italian friar called Girolamo Savoraloma. A year later Florentines turned against him and executed him for
heresy.
Reading religious works, Europeans form their own opinions of the Church.

Luther Challenges the Church
Martin Luther: Martin Luther was the
son of a miner who became a monk in 1505.
He began teaching in 1512 at the University of Wittenberg.
He never wanted to start a religious revolution, he just wanted to be a good Christian.
Luther Challenges the Church
The 95 Theses: In 1517, Luther protests Friar
Johann Tetzel’s sale of indulgences.
An indulgence was a pardon releasing a person from sin allowing them to get to heaven without saying certain prayers.
Luther wrote the 95 Theses attacking these “pardon merchants” and on October 31, 1517 posted them on the door of the church in Wittenberg inviting scholars to debate him.
After someone copied and printed the theses, Luther’s name quickly spread throughout Germany
The 95 Theses: Luther’s actions spark the Reformation—a movement for
religious reform.
The Reformation lead to the founding of Christian churches that challenge the pope’s authority.
Soon Luther called for full reform of the Church:
People can only win salvation through good works and deep faith.
Christian teachings must be based on the Bible, not the pope.
All people with faith are equal. They did not need priests to interpret the Bible.
Luther Challenges the Church
10/24/2012
32
The Pope’s Threat: Luther had never really wanted to start a new religion,
he just wanted to see changes.
Luther was astonished at how fast his ideas spread.
As Luther’s ideas became increasingly radical, the pope realized Luther was a threat.
In 1520, Pope Leo X issued a decree threatening to excommunicate Luther from the church if he didn’t take back his statements.
Luther refused to take them back and in fact threw the decree into a fire while his students cheered.
The Response to Luther
The Emperor’s Opposition: Charles V is the Holy Roman Emperor—he is a devout
Catholic.
He orders Luther to come to the German city of Worms to stand trial and to recant (take back) his statements.
Luther replied: I am bound by the scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the word of God. I cannot and I will not retract anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. I cannot to otherwise, here I stand, may God help me. Amen.
The Response to Luther
The Emperor’s Opposition: In 1521, Charles V issues the Edict of Worms declaring Luther a
heretic. According to the law, no one is allowed to give Luther shelter
and his books are to be burned. However, a follower, Prince Frederick of Saxony, sheltered Luther
in one of his castles.
In 1522 Luther returns to Wittenberg and found many of his ideas were being put to use: Priests dressed in ordinary clothes and called themselves
ministers. Services were being held in German and not Latin. Priests were marrying.
Luther and his followers begin a new religious group called Lutherans.
The Response to Luther

33
The Peasants Revolt: Inspired by the Reformation, German peasants seek an
end to serfdom and in 1524 begin an uprising to end serfdom.
They raid and burn down monasteries.
Horrified, Luther wrote a pamphlet urging German princes to stop the rebellion.
They crush the revolt, killing about 100,000 people.
Peasants were unhappy with Luther, but his ideas had already taken hold and Luther was influential until the end of his life.
The Response to Luther
Germany at War: German princes, seeing an opportunity to protest the
Catholic Church (and its taxes), side with Luther and become known as Protestants.
In 1529, war breaks out between princes who still support the Catholic Emperor and the Protestant princes.
By 1547, Charles V defeated the Protestants but was unable to force them back to the Catholic Church.
In 1555, a tired Charles V decided to gather all the princes in the German city of Augsburg.
The Peace of Augsburg was an agreement which allowed all princes to decide the religion of their own states.

In May 1499 Catherine was married to Prince Arthur of England, son of Henry VII. Five months after their marriage, the Prince of Wales died
When Henry VII passed away, his second son Henry VIII took the throne and against the advice of his advisors married Catherine
Catherine loved her young, athletic, and charming husband
Over the next five years, Catherine gave birth to several children, all of whom were stillborn (dead upon birth) or died during infancy.
She gave birth to a daughter, Mary in 1516
Catherine hoped that she could give birth to a son that could survive. But in 1518 Catherine had another stillborn daughter. There were no other children. Despite Henry's frustration, he comforted his wife during each loss

Henry VIII Wants a Son: King of England (1509-47), second
son and successor of Henry VII. By the time Catherine was 42,
Henry was convinced she would no longer provide a male heir, so he decided to end the marriage.
The king wished to annul (invalidate) the marriage on the grounds that the papal dispensation under which he and Katharine had been permitted to marry was illegal.
English diplomacy became a series of maneuvers to win the approval of Pope Clement VII , who was in the power of emperor Charles V, who was also Katherine's nephew.

The Reformation Parliament: Henry resolves the marriage
problem by asking Parliament to end the Pope’s power in England.
1529 Reformation Parliament—Henry VIII calls Parliament into session and they pass special laws to end the Pope’s power in England.
Henry secretly marries Anne Boleyn (a much younger woman and on of Catherine’s Ladies in Waiting) in 1533.
Soon after, she gives birth to a daughter, Elizabeth.

Consequences of Henry’s Changes: Soon after making himself head of the Church of England,
Henry closes all Catholic monasteries and seizes their wealth and land.
Monasteries had owned nearly 20 percent of the land in England, so this action greatly increased his treasure and power.
Religious turmoil follows Henry’s death in 1547. His son, Edward VI becomes king at only age 9. he rules only six
years and Protestants gained much power. After Edward’s death, his half sister, Mary—a Catholic—returned
England to Catholicism and has many Protestants killed. Following Mary’s death, Ann Boleyn’s daughter, Elizabeth, returns
England to Protestantism.

Queen Elizabeth I: When Elizabeth succeeded
her sister to the throne in 1558, religious strife, a huge government debt, and failures in the war with France had brought England's fortunes to a low ebb.
By 1600, she was already thinking of creating colonies in America
They did help England, but not her personally

The Spanish Armada: Elizabeth came to the throne
with the Tudor concept of strong rule and the realization that effective rule depended upon popular support.
She was able to select and work well with the most competent of counselors
Obviously, the Spanish were unhappy with England and wanted to take it back so they could make it Catholic again (and avenge Catherine of Aragon)
In 1588, after a rousing speech to her troops known as “The Tilbury Speech”, the British navy defeated the great Spanish Armada.

John Calvin and other Reformation leaders began new Protestant churches.
The Catholic Church also made reforms.
Why it matters now…

Calvin Begins Another Protestant Church
John Calvin creates a system of Protestant theology He believes that all men
and women are naturally sinful
He used Luther’s ideas and taught that only e few people are chosen by god to be saved—the elect
He called this idea predestination and started his own religion known as Calvinism
Calvin Begins Another Protestant Church
Calvin runs the city of Geneva as a theocracy Calvin is asked by the citizens of
Geneva as a theocracy in 1541 There a very strict rules in
Geneva during this time: Everyone attended religion
class No bright clothing allowed No card-playing allowed No other doctrines could be
preached Strict punishment was doled
out to anyone who broke the rules, including being burned at the stake
Calvin runs the city of Geneva as a theocracy:
Calvin did away with many religious ceremonies that Luther accepted and Catholics upheld
For example: Calvin forbade clergy to wear rich, colorful garments
The following were not allowed in church: statues, incense, an altar, candles, chants, organ music, and stained-glass windows

Scottish, Swiss, Dutch and French reformers adopt a Calvinist form of church organization A preacher from Scotland called
John Knox visits Switzerland and is so impressed by Calvin that in 1559, he takes Calvin’s ideas back to Scotland with him.
Community churches in Scotland were governed by elders.
They became known as Presbyterians

In France, Calvin’s followers were called the Huguenots
Huguenots and Catholics hated each other so much that violence often broke out between them
On August 24, 1572 (St. Bartholomew’s Day), a Catholic mob began hunting down Huguenots and brutally murdering them
In the span of six months, thousands of Huguenots were killed
Why would Catholics kill all these people?
Define the word “Genocide”
Calvin Begins Another Protestant Church
New Protestant groups form over differences in beliefs.
The Anabaptists believe that only adults should be baptized Since only adults were responsible enough to decide to be Christian,
people once baptized as children had to be baptize again
Other beliefs:
Church and state should be separate
Refused to fight in wars
Shared their possessions
Because of their “radical” beliefs, they were persecuted by both Catholics and Protestants, but survived
The Anabaptists were the forerunners of the Mennonites and the Amish
A faction that split from the Anglican Church became the Quakers and Baptists

Women play key roles in the early Reformation
This was especially evident between 1519 to 1580
Key women Reformers include:
Marguerite of Navarre
Katherina Zell
Katherina von Bora
Other Reformers
Maguerite of Navarre 1492-1549
Margaret of Navarre was the sister of King Francis I of France.
Margaret was an ardent supporter of religious liberty and mild church reform. She protected John Calvin from execution while he lived in France
A writer herself, she is best known for the Heptaméron (1558), an original collection of 72 stories in the manner of Boccaccio. She also wrote plays and poems.
Katharina Zell
She was married to prominent reformer Matthew Zell of Strasbourg
She was outspoken and was accused of “disturbing the peace” by a minister that she criticized
She responded by writing: “Do you call this disturbing the
peace that instead of spending my time in frivilous amusements I have visited the plague and carried out the dead? I have visited those in prison and under sentence of death. Often for three days and three nights I have neither eaten or slept. I have never mounted the pulpit, but I have done more than any minister in visiting those in misery.”

Katharina van Bora
Katharina von Bora was born in 1499, the daughter of an impoverished nobleman.
In 1504 she went to the convent school In 1515 she took her vows and became a Catholic nun
Easter of 1523, Katherina fled with 11 other nuns from the convent in Nimbschen to Wittenberg
On June 13, 1525 Katharina got engaged and married Martin Luther; the wedding celebration took place on June 27, 1525.
As Luther’s wife, she supported his work and managed the household, yet argued with him about a woman’s equal role in the marriage
As the Reformation went on, women were actively discouraged from taking leadership roles, and male leaders limited women’s activities
How do you think women of the Reformation viewed their religious role and their relationship with men?
Why was it easier for women to be more active during the earlier stages of the Reformation than the later stages?
Other Reformers
The Church launches reforms to strengthen and spread the Catholic religion
While many people followed the ideas of the Reformation, millions remained Catholic
However, the Reformation movement influenced the Catholic Church to make its own reforms, mostly to keep its members in the Church

The Catholic Reformation
Ignatius of Loyola forms a Catholic religious order called the Society of Jesus, or the Jesuits
Ignatius was of noble birth and was reared in the household of a prominent courtier
In 1517 he left his life at court to enter the army.
During a convalescence (1521) from a serious wound, he was converted through reading a life of Jesus.
In 1522, he wrote Spiritual Exercises outlining a day by day plan that called for meditation, prayer and study.
His little book is a classic of Christian mysticism
He is buried in the Gesù at Rome. He was canonized in 1622. Feast: July 31
The Jesuits quickly became popular and soon had millions of followers Other famous Jesuits were Francis Xavier, who worked in India, and
Matteo Ricci, who worked in China They were—and still are—characterized by missionary work and
especially the founding of schools, colleges and universities throughout the world
Can you name any schools that were founded and are run by Jesuits? Boston College, Fordham, Marquette, Gonzaga, John Carroll in
Cleveland, Georgetown St. Ignatius in Cleveland, St. Xavier in Cincinnati, Walsh Jesuit in
Cuyahoga Falls Another goal of the Jesuits was to stop Protestantism from drowning

Religious and Social Effects
Protestantism spreads, and new religions emerge
Catholic Church becomes less powerful and this leads the way for new monarchs and the creation of new and modern nation states
Eventually, this led to the rejection of Christian belief that occurred in western cultures in later centuries
This led to the Enlightenment, and set the stage for the modern world we live in today
