What intrigues you most about the Renaissance? - 08/12/09 12:30 AM
I have to say what intrigues me the most is a toss-up between the science, religion, and the art. Everything during this time period was interconnected. Science and religion were immortalized in the works of art. Religion and science were at odds with each other (Angels and Demons anyone?). Religion patronized the arts (well, the papacy) and also controlled what could be depicted - at least initially. Fascinating.
What about you? What intrigues you the most and why? I'd love to know.
