Image A: Leonardo da Vinci’s (Wing, flying machine)

Leonardo Da Vinci's (wings, flying machine) art marked realism and natural

life in Renaissance. The art tried to represent people and things accurately. T he wing,

flying machine art compared middle-aged living and the Renaissance, depicting the growth of

Florence and artistic advances. The art demonstrates the difference between the two lives by

showing the development of the mathematical concepts of balance, harmony, and perspective,

which were to be used in the practice of art. In the hands of men such as Leonardo da Vinci, it

was even a science, a means for exploring nature, and a record of discoveries.

Image B: Portrait of Madonna and Child (Middle Age v. Renaissance.)

This iconic representation of the Madonna and Child, which has appeared throughout the

development of western art, has great significance for the artistic innovations of religious themes

that have been developed throughout the years. These people's artistic representation has evolved

from an ancient devotional practice based on biblical beliefs to a significant theme in the canon

of art history. This image demonstrates the difference between middle-age life and that of the

Renaissance, even though they depict biblical beliefs. During the Middle Ages, the church

dominated society; the church was supreme over the state. In contrast, the state was supreme

over the church during the Renaissance.

Image C: Bruegel’s Children’s Games

One of the most well-known artists, Pieter Bruegel's works offer contemporary parents’

insights into life during the Renaissance. Family life in the Renaissance was very different from

family life today. Children also played a variety of roles in families and society. This could be a

sign of the social cohesiveness of the time. The average person's daily life changed along with
the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Children were regarded like young

adults at the beginning of the Renaissance. They had to conduct themselves, speak, and dress like

grownups. They were expected to start working as soon as they could. However, as time went

people started treating their kids differently since they had more free time and money.

Image D: The Trial of Galileo

Galileo Galilei's trials matched science's continuous advancement against the church's

antiquated practices. It is frequently forgotten that Copernicus and Galileo's heliocentric theories

were not accepted by the scientific establishment of the time. Galileo's case notably featured the

Counter Reformation's debate over who had the right to interpret Scripture. Numerous new

concepts, cultures, religions, and ways of life emerged throughout the Renaissance. It assisted

people in altering their perspectives of the world and themselves. Humanism placed more

emphasis on secular topics than the religious ones that had preoccupied medieval intellectuals.

Humanist academics aimed to better understand their era by utilizing past knowledge.

The multiplicity of social types and the device of the storytelling contest allowed the

presentation of a highly varied collection of literary genres. Kevin Corrigan Geoffrey Chaucer

used a few different genres in the Canterbury Tales. Today I would probably use genres like

nonfiction because that is supposedly what the Canterbury Tales were. However, I think specific

ways of publicly presenting the articles could also be considered a genre. For example, today,

Chaucer might use social networking sites or online articles to produce his works. I think modern

society is headed in "A glorious future." when we become fully conscious of the unity of the

human race and the reality of ourselves as spiritual beings. We will be on the path to creating a

society that will provide a joyful life to every person. I believe we will unite through social

media platforms, blogs, and primarily online.

There is a clear sense of specialization or professionalism in society as far as work is

concerned. In other words, different people in the Canterbury Tales society are assigned unique roles.

In choosing the people to include in my story in modern times, division of labor and specialization is

the mode of the market whereby people are allowed to specialize in areas where they are best suited.

The result is that an individual becomes an expert in his or her area. This is a concept that Chaucer

brings out very clearly in the general prologue to the Canterbury Tales. Thus the society depicted in

the Canterbury Tales has clear structures with a well-established system that points out the work that

is supposed to be done and the people who are supposed to do the work.
