1 Reasons for the rise of the Renaissance Painting and Sculpture
Define Renaissance: Reasons for a decline in feudalism Reasons for the rise of the Renaissance Painting and Sculpture Middle Ages Renaissance Architecture Middle Ages Renaissance Scholarship Petrarch: Humanism: Erasmus: Secularism: Science Geocentric Theory: Heliocentric Theory: Political Machiavelli: Thesis: Technology Middle Ages: Guttenberg Printing Press: WHETHER IT IS BETTER FOR THE PRINCE TO BE LOVED OR FEARED “From this arises the question: whether it is better to be loved more than feared, or feared more than loved. The answer is that one would like to be both, but as it is difficult for fear and love to go together, it is better to be feared. One can say about men: they are ungrateful, liars, and deceivers, anxious to avoid danger, and greedy. As long as you are useful to them, they are yours. They would shed their blood for you, risk their lives, their children, so long as the danger is remote. But when you are in danger, they turn against you. Any prince who has come to depend on promises and takes no other precautions, ensures his own ruin…Men worry less about doing an injury to one who makes himself loved than to one who makes himself feared.” Machiavelli, The Prince
