CHAPTER 5
THE RENAISSANCE
The Renaissance spanned roughly
3
centuries
:
14
th
-16th
1300s – 1500s
Petrarch
, the great Renaissance humanist – Italian poet and scholar of the fourteenth-century, looked back at the preceding thousand years and saw only “
dark ages”
extending from the collapse of the Roman Empire to his own time.
In Petrarch’s view history fell into
three periods
:
ANCIENT CLASSICAL
WORLD
MIDDLE
AGES
RENAISSANCE
Petrarch and other humanists of his time (scholars) admired Classical world as a time of the highest achievements of human spirit. The Italians were very proud of their own time, which they believed was a revival of classical culture of ancient Greece and Rome.
As for the thousand years that separated these two distinguished periods, the Italian humanists called them
Dark Ages
that had been marked by a decline of culture - a mere break in the history of human civilization.

Do you remember why the
Middle Ages
are called
Middle?
I want you to remember that the
Renaissance first emerged in the south of Europe - in ITALY!
This happened in the end of the 13
th
century (late1200s).
Remember which historical period it was?
--- Right, it was the end of the Gothic time.
Yet, your textbook begins the Renaissance story in 15
th
century Northern Europe –in Germany, Netherlands, France, etc.
Why such a chronological leap?
--- The logic would be that the Renaissance in Northern Europe was closer connected to the medieval culture and this provides us with a good stylistic transition
- you will be able to trace emergence of a new style within the previous Gothic frame.
Now let us open a new (and the last!) chapter in our course.
Allow yourself enough time to study the splendid art of the Renaissance époque.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
