Renaissance Artists and Education Corruption in church
1. Renaissance artists portrayed many things in their art that had never been seen before. For one, they began showing perspective in their work. Artists used this perspective by having all subjects lead back to a vanishing point which is located on a horizon line. An example of this is Marriage of a Virgin by Raphael. Perspective is shown in the steps leading back to the tower in the back. They also show perspective by having larger, more detailed objects or figures in the front while having smaller, less detailed in the back of the picture. Another thing artists changed in their work is that they tried to reveal a spiritual idea through their beliefs in religion. They also revealed famous religious, Greek, and Roman subjects to viewers who had never had the chance to see them before. Another thing such artists as Leonardo da Vinci did was turn many of the subjects toward the front so the viewer of the art could see the emotion on each subject's face. A good example of this is da Vinci's The Last Supper where Jesus and all his disciples are on one side of the table. 2. Education helped shape the Renaissance for many
4. There are many differences between Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Ulrich Zwingli. For one, Zwingli and the Anabaptists believed that the church and state were not separate while Calvin, on the contrary, believed deeply in Divine Law ruling over church and state. Calvin also believed that neither the church nor the state should rule over the other. In other words, Calvin believed that church and state were separate. Martin Luther, on the other hand, thought the church was overusing its power and he wanted it to become less corrupt. Another thing these three men differed on was the state in which Holy Communion was received. Zwingli and Calvin believed that the bread and wine represented at Communion was only a symbol of the actual body and blood of Christ while Luther believed that it was not a symbol but was spiritual and was the actual body and blood of Christ. Predestination was another thing that they disputed about. Predestination is the belief that God has already decided who shall be saved in heaven and that any wrong-doing here on earth does not matter. Calvin and Zwingli believed deeply in this while Luther
