THE BAROQUE Historical Background Welcome to “History through Art”. Today we’ll be looking at the history‚ culture and art of the Baroque‚ a period of turbulence that began about 1545. It was a time when the Renaissance celebration of all humanity switched its focus to the rich‚ self-centered privileged class who could afford to sponsor artists to immortalize their opulent life-style. The wealthy also were patrons to artists who depicted both religious and secular scenes with great motion

details) and then found the gravitational law (knowledge from general patterns). Another example that shows how the knowledge derived from science is connected to general patterns is the discovery of the heliocentric planetary system. Initially Copernicus and the other scientists who worked on this topic had to gather information from astronomical observations‚ but this data only represented an understanding. The real knowledge came from the formulation of the law of planetary motion‚ which is the

Scientific observers did experimentations that never matched with the accepted truths‚ because of this result‚ it inspired most scientist to seek for more truthful answers. For instance‚ Nicolas Copernicus‚ he came up with the heliocentric theory in which he stated that “the Earth was simply one of a number of planets orbiting the Sun.” before the heliocentric theory there was the old geocentric theory which includes that “the Earth was the center

The theological assumption of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries assumed God as the ultimate source of intervention in day-to-day affairs – a reflection of the authoritative power of the Church of the era. Because there was no alternate existing explanation for the seemingly random occurrence of phenomena‚ people believed that God was the sole cause of natural events. Deism‚ the belief in a supreme being that created the universe but does not interact with humankind‚ distinctly contrasted with

highly appreciable because without educational systems there are no laws. For example‚ if Newton has been forced to seek social harmony‚ then he never found the “law of gravitational force”. Then there is no trace for our today’s world. If Copernicus has been forced to seek social harmony‚ then he never found the “Universe system” which proposes that the sun is in center where the earth and other planets are revolving around it. At that time these have been considered as a social in-harmony

But astronomer Copernicus did not compromise with the theory commonly accepted and had his own understanding of the structure of the universe: he believed that the sun‚ instead of the earth‚ is in the center of the universe which actually involved more general truth about the universe. Confronted with everyone else’s common sense‚ he made his assertion about the structure of the universe and eventually significantly developed the whole field of astronomy.

However‚ these hypotheses‚ conflicted with the general consensus of the times‚ and were therefore disapprovingly put aside for about 1800 years until Copernicus‚ along with a number of other influential scientists proved him correct. Although his calculations were wrong‚ this was only due to a lack of precise data‚ rather than floored logic. Today‚ the intelligence of Aristarchus is renowned‚ along with
