He leads and inspired other artists to try different sculpting techniques and explore other branches of art, instead of the gothic style that was used most commonly. Donatello still inspires and influences a lot of artists today. He's considered the founder of modern sculpture because he made the sculptures look realistic and really brought them to life

- I was the first modern scientist to say that the Earth and other planets revolve around the sun. 
- I was the most influential scholar in astronomy and I created the Heliocentric Theory and model. 
  • this helped to inspire the concepts of gravity and go to help people rethink the entire field of physics. 
- I wrote that the celestial bodies do not all revolve around a single point.
- stars are immovable and you can only see them at night because of the daily rotation of the Earth.
- Earth has more than one motion.
- I argued that the Earth turned on its axis and that it shifts on its axis which is why we have a change of seasons.

Florence, Italy
- I was one of the first Western artists since classical times to depict non-religious subject matter.
- I also bridged the gap between the Medieval Gothic style of painting and an emerging Humanist Realism.
- My exploration of emotional depth in traditional Christian subjects was unique at a time when religious art was largely iconographic. 

The appreciation of human values are reflected in my work with my use of nudity and iconographical meaning of Venus in my mythology paintings. Inspired by antiquity, I presented the viewers with religious paintings incorporating Individualism. 
Venus was the Roman goddess of love. The loveliest of all deities, Venus desired, and was desired by mortals and gods alike. Venus had a fluid sexuality and embraced male and female lovers alike.

You should invest in Miguel because of the accomplishment and shaping culture in the world he created with Don Quixote. 

It was not just an ordinary novel Miguel created, he created a novel that was such a success because of the realistic point view he shows us to the world we don't see.  

People enjoyed this novel because he chose to accept the things in the real world and shows the real people in the real world. 

The novel shows idealistic goals and  true colors of people and to literary historians the novel Don Quixote was seen as one of the most important books of all time.]]> 2021-05-12 12:38:05 UTC https://padlet.com/MsOberst/vceu3f6f8abkwb54/wish/1517178793 Petrarch-Francesco Petrarca emmachisholm https://padlet.com/MsOberst/vceu3f6f8abkwb54/wish/1517180081 July 20, 1304, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy-July 18/19, 1374, Arquà

I created some of the most important inventions to mine and modern day society. Most things I invented were so advanced for my time, that my designs were scraped and later brought back and used hundreds of years later. Things like:
- the first diving suit (which was supposed to be used to sabotage incoming boats and cut holes in the hulls of the ships)
- the first parachute ( it was not needed at the time but a modern day dare devil used my original deign and jumped out of a plane and said it was a smoother ride than a regular parachute
- the first automated weapon (I realized that regular cannons were inefficient and took way too long to reload, so I invented the 33 barreled cannon which allowed a soldier to be able to fire, reload and cool multiple different cannons at the same time
- winged flying machine (what you now know as the airplane, I created the original design and it would be used as a source for the wright brothers and other inventors over time

Without my inventions, modern weaponry would not be possible, air travel would not be possible and the modern car would not have happened either.
