The Great Schism Notes

THE GREAT SCHISM or the east-west schism

DaVinci- really the Renaissance man
^its not enough just to paint the image down, he was to experiment with them to get a point across.
How does he do this?
Don't look back into the bible, looked into everyday life.

There was a lot of conflict during the Renaissance.
You have the artists that look towards the classical past and the people around them, the church gets concerned. There is religious confusion due to the Protestant Reformation. There is also consequence against culture.

Hieronymus Bosch
Strangest painter of European art

Medieval Art was not supposed to make you think like the art in the Renaissance. It's purpose was to portray the unknown and warn you.
