1. Saint Bridget of Sweden (1303-1373)
Saint Bridget of Sweden was a patron saint of
Europe and she is the most famous Swedish
saint. She was known her charity and she was
very religious and founded the order
Bridgettines. The Bridgettines still exists today
and many women were influenced by her life
and religious beliefs.
She is a role model for many women because
she left all her children and everything she
had and went to Italy. When she came to Italy
and she wanted to talk to the pope but he
was not there so she waited for 18 years so
that she could make a new order (the
Bridgettines.) She also wanted to make a new
monastery but she did not have time to do it. This is Saint Bridget of Sweden
But when she died her daughter fulfilled her
mission and 1384 the monastery inaugurated
in Vadstena.
2. Johannes Gutenberg (1398-1468)
Johannes Gutenberg invented the
printing press. It made it easier
for many people to read the
books that got written. The
people who used to write the
books for hand did not have to do
that anymore.
He made many people start
reading and spreading
knowledge. If Johannes
Gutenberg had not come up with
this no one knows when it would This is Johannes Gutenberg
have happened.
3. Christopher Columbus (1451-1506)
Christopher Columbus was an explorer
that 'found' America. People where
already there and actually there where
Vikings in North America before
Christopher. But anyway it was very
new to go so long away. He encouraged
other people to also travel. More
people got interested in travel.
That made an impact on us because
when Christopher came back from
America more people went there and
they made themselves at home there
and more and more people went there.
So now are there many white people
there. Before where there only Indians
there.
This is Christopher Columbus
4. Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)
Leonardo da Vinci was a famous
painter, sculptor, architect, musicia
n, scientist, mathematician, engine
er, inventor, anatomist, geologist, c
artographer, botanist and a writer.
You can say that he was a genius.
He changed the world we live in
today by inventing so many things
that we can use now.
If Leonardo da Vinci had not made
all these inventions and we had
not found the plans we might have
been much more after in the
development of the world and all
the thing around us as we are now.
This is Leonardo da Vinci
5. Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543)
The change Nicolaus Copernicus
did was to discover that the sun is
in the middle of the universe and
not the earth as the church
thought. He made a rebellion
against the church.
This discovery Nicolaus did made
an impact on science and on us
because, when other people
looked in the telescope after him
they saw that he was right. So
know we know how the universe
really looks like.
This is Nicolaus Copernicus
6. Michelangelo (1475-1564)
Michelangelo was a famous
painter, sculptor, architect, engine
er and poet in the renaissance. He
made many beautiful paintings
and sculptures. He was a very
skilled artist. Michelangelo had a
big influence on later artists and
painters.
We care about it today because This is a sculpture made by
many people see his art today and Michelangelo. It is called
‘Pietà’.
get influenced by his wonderful
creatings.
7. Ferdinand Magellan (1480-1521)
Ferdinand was an explorer. He
was the first explorer that went
between the Atlantic ocean to
the Pacific ocean. He also told
about new animal species.
That made an impact on the
world because they found new
places and if he had not went
there who knows when anybody
would have. It is also important
for people to know how the
world is looking. If they did not This is Ferdinand Magellan
know that it might be hard.
8. Martin Luther (1483-1546)
Martin Luther did
some changes. He was
an icon of the
protestant
reformation. He also
translated the bible so
that people that could
not talk Latin could
read the bible to.
He made a big impact
especially in Sweden
where I am from.
Sweden got
protestantic because
of him.
This is Martin Luther
9. Gustav Vasa (1496-1560)
Gustav Vasa was a Swedish king in the renaissance.
He was king from 1523 until 1560(when he died).
He invented the monarchy by succession. Gustav
Vasa was the first monarch of house of Vasa. The
Vasa house was the royal house 16th and 17th
century. The change he made was to cut the ties
to the Catholic church and he seized all the
churches around Sweden's stuff, belongings and
land and gave it to the state. He united Sweden to
a good and strong nation. Some people say that
'Through his effort Sweden got reborn.'
He made an impact on Sweden when he 'squished'
the Catholic Priests away and took all the church's
belongings away and took them to Stockholm. If he
had not done this Sweden might be Catholic even
now. Sweden got protestantic because of him and
some influence from Martin Luther.
This is Gustav Vasa
10. Sofonisba Anguissola 1532-1625
She was the first female painter that
was established and well known.
The change she did was to
encourage other women to paint.
Some of the women that were
encouraged to start painting was
Irene di Spilimbergo and Laviana
Fontana. Both of these two painters
got an established and successful
career.
I think that if Sofonisba Anguissola
had not lived or started painting
other women at that time had not
get encouraged to start painting. I
think it is very important with justice
and I think it is not justice if there This is Sofonisba Anguissola
are only manly painters, as there
was at the time.
11. Elizabeth I (1533-1603)
Elizabeth I was a queen in
England. When Elizabeth came
to the throne England was a
poor country which was
almost getting concurred by
Spain. But when she died
England was a rich and
powerful land and its navy was
among the strongest.
We care about it because now
England is a strong country
and it might not be as strong if
Elizabeth had not done these
things for England.
This is Elizabeth I
12. Galileo Galilei (1564-1652)
Galileo was mathematician, physicist and
astronomer. He made a change when he
supported Nicolaus Copernicus with his
theory about the universe. He was very
brave because he knew he was going to get
people angry at him.
He made a lasting impact on the world
because he was supporting Nicolaus
Copernicus with his belief that the sun was
in the middle of the universe and not the
earth. He supported him even though
Nicolaus had formulated nearly seventy
years ago. That made people believe more
in what Nicolaus was saying and now they
know how it really is.
This is Galileo Galilei
13. William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
The change Shakespeare did
was to use a new way of
writing books and plays.
Some of the plays he did
were Hamlet and Romeo
and Juliet.
The impact William made on
us today was to share his
talent with us so that we can
use it now. He was very
good at what he did and
many people talk about him
so we remember him. We
remember him because he
made very good plays. Now This is William Shakespeare
we use his ideas and plays
and make them different.
14. Giordano Bruno (1548-1600)
Giordano Bruno was a
philosopher, mathematician and
astronomer. He is a symbol for the
right to express new ideas and
knowledge. He thought that that the
sun was a star like all other stars in
the universe. He also thought that
there were other planets just like
earth.
This made a lasting impact on us
because he became a martyr for the
right to express ideas that are
This is Giordano Bruno's statue on
against the ruling order. I think he Piazza Campo de Fiori in Rome. I lived
was good because he said what he at Piazza Campo de Fiori when I lived
wanted and stood up to other in Rome so I saw this statue every day.
people (the church.)
