Michelangelo We all have our own outlook on the “Renaissance man” and what he truly was. Some may say he is a perfectionist while others may say he is knowledgeable. Extraordinary artists like Leonardo da Vinci‚ Albrecht Durer‚ and Michelangelo are all great leaders of the Italian Renaissance. Each of them bought something unique and fresh to the art world. However‚ Michelangelo brought his own style and technique into the public eye and changed the Renaissance with his originality. During the

Stretched out upon the savanna‚ the village consists of two rows of houses which stand in a file along the edge of the road and seem to peer furtively upon the passerby. They look like a double row of sparrows upon two parallel telegraph wires. Close by flows the Guarico‚ an abundant stream

The ancient cultures that produced them were so different from our own that we find few references in those works to our time. Greek architecture‚ sculpture‚ and painting‚ however‚ are immediately recognizable as the ancestors of Western civilization‚ despite their debts to earlier art. A Greek temple reminds us of countless government buildings‚ banks‚ and college campuses; a Greek statue

When one thinks about virtue‚ they think about how someone acts and gives to their community‚ however‚ Niccolo Machiavelli presents it in a new way. He defines virtue or “virtu” in three different ways; it is physical strength‚ utility‚ and most importantly‚ political ability. Throughout his letter‚ “The Prince”‚ to the Magnificent Lorenzo de’ Medici‚ Machiavelli emphasizes that a prince will not have success unless he is virtuous in these three areas. He links virtue to man’s ability to understand
