Oldest Clock, 1300's: Inventions Of The Renaissance

Martin Luther was born in Germany in 1483. Luther was a German priest and professor, who was a major part of the Protestant Reformation. Luther came to reject some of the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. He was the first person to go against the church. Luther wrote the Ninety-Five theses which changed people's beliefs. The pope tried to take all of his writings in 1520 and Luther refused to give him his writings. This resulted in his excommunication by the pope.

Raphael was a painter during the Italian Renaissance. He is known for his paintings of the Madonna, each one a little different. He was born on April 6, 1483, in Urbino, Italy (Bio.com). His most famous painting was finished in 1507 called La belle jardinière (Bio.com). La belle jardinière is also known as Madonna and Child with Saint John the Baptist (Bio.com). It is different compared to the painting I will be examining but the concept and figures are still the same. Raphael died on April 6, 1520, his 37th birthday, of “unexpectedly of mysterious causes” (Bio.com).

From the 14th century to the 17th century the Renaissance took place and was consider the cultural bridge that connect the middle ages to modern history. During this time many spectacular things took place. Artwork was created that looked as though it were from the heavens. Sculptures were generated that looked as an angel had sculpted the masterpiece. The architecture that took place looked as though it were created from the 19th century. Many architects, artist, and sculptures were present during the Renaissance, but there was one person that stood out the most. He all of the abilities that three men combined did not have and his name was Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni. Michelangelo has many painting that our still around today,

Martin Luther is an individual from the Protestant Reformation which I most admire. He was born on November 10th, 1483. When he was older, one day he had a religious experience which made him give up law school and become a monk in Germany. As he devoted his life to Jesus’ teachings when he was in the monastery, he began to question what the Roman Catholic church practiced and what the Bible said. He noticed that the Catholic had driven away from what was actually written in the bible. He used Gutenberg’s printing press to help him print the Bible from Hebrew and ancient Greek to which he translated to German. Because of this, it helped him spread his beliefs. The Bible was the first book printed using the printing press. Luther was the first to speak up and protest against the church even though there were some risks to going against the church. His bravery is one of the reasons why I admire

Martin Luther .  He declared that the Bible alone was the source of God's words.  He started the "Protestant Reformation."

Protestant Reformation: Martin Luther, a German monk, disliked and often criticized the corrupted practice of selling indulgences. The Roman Catholic Church tried to silence the criticisms from Luther, however, this exacerbated Luther’s anger for the Church. Luther’s resistance to silence caused him to be excommunicated, and in

A large majority of Christians would tell you that the Reformation was one of the major events to occur in shaping our belief system as Protestants. Martin Luther and his God given revelation of justification through faith is the bedrock of twenty first century Christian though. It is impossible to believe that for hundreds of years Christianity was dominated by a political and ecclesiastical dominance, to the extent that even the basics of our faith, such as salvation, was twisted and skewed into a bargaining tool for financial gain or power. However, God in his grace, revealed himself to a humble monk in Germany, who was hungry for revelation. By the voice and boldness of Martin Luther, we now have a basis for our salvation. Luther took us back to the original teachings of Jesus, back to salvation.

One of the most prominent of these reformists was Martin Luther a former catholic came to reject the teachings of the Catholic Church instead stating that salvation through faith instead of salvation through deeds. As Luther began to spread his radicalized ideas opposition grew within the Catholic Church. The 95 Theses authored by Luther himself were not written in Latin so those only of the church could read it but in the vernacular tongue of German so the common people could read and understand as well. Which at the time was uncommon for anything much less religious documents to not be written in Latin. Eventually Luther was called to defend his 95 Theses in front of the 1518 Diet of Augsburg where he debated for three days with Cardinal Thomas Cajetan without reaching agreement. Martin Luther was eventually excommunicated on January 3rd 1521 after refusing to recant after being given 120 days to

I find Leandro de Vinci most interesting. He was a painter, architect, inventor, and student of all things scientific. A true genius in my eyes. Leandro was born April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy. His hometown was within the territory of the the republic of Florence under the rule of Medici. He was born out of wedlock, and his parents were Caterina and Messer Piero Fruosino Di Vinci. Leandro died May 2, 1519 at his residence at Clos Luce.

Raphael is now considered one of the three most outstanding artists of the Renaissance, with a lifetime of beautiful artwork to show for it. From working with his initial master Perugino to painting the The School of Athens, Raphael always worked to improve and further himself in his skill and experience. After learning and studying from the two other most famous artists of the time, he earned his place among the best. Raphael truly knew how to take the resources he had around himself and learn from them, and that’s why he always improved. He had an incredible life of success, including creating seemingly countless beautiful pieces of art, working on more commissions for the Pope than any other artist, and succeeding in “conquering” every

When a person thinks about Renaissance art, the first name they think of is most likely Leonardo Da Vinci, the famed painter and engineer. Or possibly, Michelangelo, the gifted sculptor and painter, responsible for the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Despite the fame of these two gifted artists, they both had their shortcomings. For example, Michelangelo was extremely difficult to get along with, on the other hand, Da Vinci had the tendency to stop in the middle of projects and turn his attention elsewhere. However, there is one happy medium between these two artists and that is the Italian painter, Raphael.

M.C. Escher (born June 17, 1898 in Leeuwarden, Netherlands)was a dutch graphic artist (one of the world's best) who made geometrical styled woodcuts, lithographs(printing done from limestone or other flat surface), and mezzotints(engraved pictures on copper or steel which was used to print). He died March 27, 1972, in Laren, North Holland, Netherlands. Leonardo Da Vinci (born April 15, 1452) was an italian inventor whose areas of interest included invention, painting, sculpting, architecture, science, music, mathematics, engineering, literature, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history, and cartography. www.biographyonline.net dubbed him one of the greatest painters of all times. He was considered one of the greatest because of
