Document Summary
Short lm: from the middle ages to the 14th century the main thing that changed were the people"s moods. The main person in the renaissance was a monk that was alive during the 1400s and 1500s. Macchiadelli made a political book about bad politics, then he learned to consider politics as a jungle. He formally made a physics off of politics. Michelangelo"s painting and botticelli"s painting, the renaissance has put them both together. Their paintings are the most impressive things we"ve got, since you would not have found this few 100 years ago. In the 15th century they had printed books, but the 16th century this changed so they saw a lot more than this. They had more of a variety of books by then. They also made the dreams of future conquistadores. Age of discovery = the period of exploration. Michelangelo paints his last one onto the wall of the renaissance.
