The renaissance is a when a new city is reborn. There were many great artist like Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo. In my opinion the most significant artist was Leonardo da Vinci. One reason why is he was a significant artist was because he lived with only his father and this brought him to be the artist he was. I think this because in Leonardo’s DBQ it states “became an apprentice of Andrea del Verrocchio.”…

Though there are three different accounts of the Lord’s Last Supper in the bible—written by Matthew, Luke, and John—each record share common threads. Specifically speaking, the scriptures all express Jesus’ desire for people to, through the symbols of bread and wine, receive his body and blood in remembrance of him. In other words, through this symbolic and orderly process, all accounts show that Jesus wants his followers to remember the sacrifice he made: die on the cross to pay for mankind’s sins. Ultimately, I found these accounts to show Jesus suggesting a redemptive nature of his death.…
Throughout his life, Leonardo Da Vinci embodied the expectations of an exemplary Renaissance man, due to his knowledge in many studies. A model Renaissance man was well educated, and “had learned enough to understand good literature, painting, and music” (Wallbank). Da Vinci clearly manifests the qualities of a Renaissance man because he was an excellent artist and studied a diverse array of subjects. He was well studied and it is shown within the 5,000 pages worth of journals, written on his findings. Da Vinci explored a wide variety of sciences, mostly pertaining to nature and humans. It was inferred that Leonardo Da Vinci studied motion, sound, water, plants, meteorology, air, fire, earth and water. His many studies contributes to his image…
The High Renaissance, which began in the cinquecento in Italy and later spread through the rest of Europe, was a period around the 1500s, the starting date of the renaissance itself. High Renaissance artists where frequently talented in numerous fields, Leonardo Da Vinci was an expert of many sciences, Michelangelo Buonarroti was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer of the High Renaissance who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art and lastly, Raffaello Sanzio, an architect and painter of that time. However, even though these three are widely known, Da Vinci himself is the greatest portraitists of all time. There are a few paintings that make up for his fame; the portrait of Ginevra de Benci,…
When contemplating about one of the outstanding Renaissance men, who comes to mind? Does Leonardo Da Vinci come to mind? Unequivocally the man who brought to life the Mona Lisa and designed the first scissors is bound to be a successful man; however his love and dedication to his various types of works is what made Leonardo Da Vinci a true Renaissance man. At the remarkably young age of fourteen Leonardo Da Vinci began to apprentice with a man named Andrea Del Verrocchio. Andrea Del Verrocchio was a painter, sculptor, and goldsmith in Italy during the Italian Renaissance. Andrea Del Verrocchio is well known for his bronze sculpture known as Christ and Saint Thomas located at the Orsanmichele in Florence, Italy according…

Because of his understanding of Linear Perspective, integration of light and shadow, and his understanding of anatomy many of his works were famous. Unlike his findings in the field of science he was accepted as a very…
Recently, someone asked, “Did Judas leave the Last Supper early?” She was repeating a question that she heard from people who criticize Christianity. There are two major types knowledge that is used to evaluate Christianity. She had probably heard this question from someone who depended on exoteric knowledge. To bear fruit within the church, we need to know about exoteric knowledge and esoteric knowledge. Exoteric knowledge is knowledge that is publicly available. Esoteric knowledge is kept from everyone except the initiated. Among educated people, the word "esoteric" is widely known and used frequently. On the other hand, the word "exoteric" is known only to few people. Thus, the word "exoteric" is…
In the following paragraphs, I will analyze and critique the article “The Resurrection of Christ: Theological Implications” by Daniel B. Wallace. Wallace’s main purpose in writing this article is to stress importance of the Resurrection of Christ and its impact on the Christian faith. Wallace is theologically sound in supporting his views and held a bit of humor to his arguments.…

The issue that brought the differences between the Luther and Zwingli to the forefront was their understanding of the Lord’s Supper. From 1524 to 1529, Luther and Zwingli carried on an acrimonious public debate on the meaning of the Lord’s Supper. The words of Luke 22:19 and Matthew 26:26, “This is my body,” became the focal point of contention. The conflict revealed the hermeneutical nature of the debate, demonstrated that the two Reformers were operating within competing…
The period after the World War I was quite hard for people who were disillusioned. They suffered because of the lives lost and were unaware of what their goals were and what they could amount to. In Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Sun Also Rises, the Lost Generations and their inability to cope with the changes around them is the focus of the novel. The epigraph to The Sun Also Rises contains a Gertrude Stein’s quote — “You are all a lost generation”. This proclamation is followed by a passage from the beginning of the Book of Ecclesiastes: “One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever”. The former quote’s message clearly conveys that Jake Barns, Robert Cohn, Brett Ashley and Mike Campbell are deprived of moral, emotional, spiritual and physical values.…
For several years before the Protestant reformation, the Catholic church had been planning a movement to reform itself from within and help Catholics to remain loyal followers. However, this movement only took place in the mid 1500’s, approximately 20 years after the Protestant Reformation. The Catholic reformation, sometimes referred to as the counter reformation, had four main goals: to revise and strengthen Catholic doctrines, to reform any unjust happenings within the church, to prevent the spread of Protestantism, and to regain land lost to Protestantism, as well as spread Catholicism to new places. Led mainly by Pope Paul III and Pope Paul IV, the counter reformation had many long lasting effects on not only Europe, but also the entire world.…
The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the greatest proof of Christianity. Everything else that was said or done by Christ and the apostles is secondary in importance to the resurrection. If the resurrection did not take place, then Christianity is a false religion built on lies. If it did take place, then Christ is God and the Christian faith is absolute truth. Without the resurrection, it is quite certain there would have been no Christian church. Did Christ actually rise from the dead, or has the Christian faith been led astray by some kind of hoax?…
