Nyctophobia; the fear of the dark. However, it’s not exactly the fear of darkness itself, but rather, what could be lurking within it. Now, the Dark Ages weren’t actually “dark”, but it was a time of rapid decline in Europe in which historians don’t have much information. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe was thrown into a never ending battle of hardships. From the Black Plague to the loss of beloved heroes and heroines, the country really was left in the dark, until a flicker of hope emerged offering a new beginning: the Renaissance. The Renaissance lasted from the 14th to the 17th century and was an era of “rebirth” in European history. During this period, culture throughout Europe underwent a dramatic reformation where classic

Carlo Dolci was born in Florence. Although he was precocious and apprenticed at a young age to Jacopo Vignali, Dolci was not prolific. His painstaking technique made him unsuited for large-scale fresco painting. He painted chiefly sacred subjects, and his works are generally small in scale, although he made a few life-size pictures. He often repeated the same composition in several versions. Dolci died in Florence in 1686.

Giotto “a forerunner of Italian Renaissance painting" also made his presence in this century. The most famous works of Giotto were completed in Padua and Florence.

Anastasia Romanov is one of the most romanticized figures in history. Due to her noble birth, she was born the fourth daughter of the last Tsar of Russia, to her playful personality, she loved to play tricks on her family and friends to the murderous, mysterious circumstances of her death at the hands of the Bolsheviks. Although Anastasia lived a privileged life, she did not have a say in her life due to her father being the Tsar of Russia.

There had been many rumors that some of the family members of the Tsar’s family had escaped the soldiers and the woman had the same eye color, hair color, height, and body marking as Anastasia. The Russian public was not hesitant to accept the woman known as Anastasia Anderson to be the real Anastasia Romanov. In 1991, the remains of the Romanov family were found and exhumed in Siberia. Portions of skeletons were found and the remains were identified as the Tsarina. Three of her female children using mitochondrial

Ever since its founding, Imperial Russia was a land full of turmoil and social unrest. This turmoil became even more apparent during the reign of the Romanov Dynasty. Started by Tsar Mikhail Romanov, the dynasty would last three-hundred years until the last of the dynasty, Nicholas II, abdicated the throne in light of the February Revolution. During most of this three-hundred year span, Russia was a society based on social class, with serfs at the very bottom. The serfdom was a controversial subject to begin with. Many believed that the serfdom should be abolished, while the nobility wished for it to continue. One of the many peaks of this conflict occurred during the reign of Catherine II. Catherine, in order to gain the favor of the nobility,

In 1504, Raphael moved to Florence. There, in Florence, some of the Italian Renaissance's biggest names lived and worked in Florence. In Florence, Raphael studied Michelangelo's use of anatomy and Leonardo da Vinci's use of light and shadow. He met such big names in Florence such as Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Fra Bartolommeo, who was another painter that did such works as The Holy Family. It was in Florence that Raphael made a name for himself as an artist.

Michelangelo also was an Italian artist. He lived from 1475 to 1564. Because he preferred to work alone, Michelangelo refused to have apprentices. Although one of his most famous works is the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he preferred to sculpt. At age 23,

The Italian master was born in 1477 in Pieve di Cadore, Italy and died August 27, 1576, in Venice, Italy. According to the Encyclopedia of World Biography (EWB) he was either born in 1477 or in 1488 (both dates are given). Reportedly Titian (Tiziano Vecellio was his full name) began studying painting at the age of 9; he and his brother initially were learning in the workshop of mosaic artist Sebastiano Zuccati, but soon Titian had the opportunity study painting with Giovanni Ballini (EWB). Soon thereafter Titian collaborated with Ballini's brother Giorgione; the two worked on frescoes for the German Merchants' Exchange. It is said that the work of Titian and Giorgione was so similar that it was hard to tell them apart.

“The rebirth.” “The early modern period.” The Renaissance is alluded to by many names, referring to the great artistic renewal period beginning in the 14th century and ending in the 17th century. Occurring after the Medieval Period, it is often considered to be the bridge to modern day history as we know it. It was period of change, revival, and great augmentation for society. With the Middle Ages coming to an end and with the intellectual decline that had followed, scholars and thinkers alike began to study the ideals of ancient philosophers of the classical world, most prominently the Greeks and Romans, a time of great innovation and high human achievement, the likes of Humanism that hadn’t been seen for centuries.

Raphael was born Raffaello Santi or Raffaello Sanzio in Urbino on April 6, 1483, and received his early training in art from his father, the painter Giovanni Santi.

Raphael imitated his master closely; their paintings of this period are executed in styles so similar that art historians

This man was Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci, by definition, is the quintessential Renaissance man.
