One notable painter during the Renaissance era who did not live in Italy was Russian Orthodox artist Andrei Rublev, born in the 1370s and died in 1430 (Ross 131). Though he was born in the medieval era, his work was truly Renaissance era. There is very little known about the life of Andrei Rublev with his exact birth location and date unknown, it is very likely he lived near Moscow at the Trinity St. Sergius Lavra which is near Moscow (131). The first mention of Rublev is in 1405 when he created frescos and icons for the Cathedral of Annunciation (131). His name was on the last of the list of masters that created these masterpieces. It is believed that he was trained under the famous Theophanes the Greek, who was an important master that
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.
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.

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,

Hezekiah, unlike his father, took it upon himself to ask God for a sign during this time of preparation for a possible Assyrian invasion (Tullock & McEntire, 2012). In Isaiah chapter 36 we find that Sennacherib threatens Hezekiah and the people of the city stating that God can not save them from this invasion that had been ordered for them by the King of Assyria (Isaiah 36:15 King James Version). It was then that Hezekiah went to the temple and prayed the most humbling pray asking God to save them. God sent word that would ensure Hezekiah and the city of Jerusalem would be safe from the enemy as he had plans for Assyria.
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
Imagine Italy from the 14th to the 17th century. This time period is known as the Renaissance. In the time of the Renaissance there were many great minds, but one in particular stood out from the rest. This man was a writer, a mathematician, an inventor, and a world renowned artist. This man was Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci, by definition, is the quintessential Renaissance man.
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.
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
“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.
