Fifteenth–century Italy was unlike any other place in
Europe. It was divided into independent city–states,
each with a different form of government. Florence,
where the Italian Renaissance began, was an
independent republic. It was also a banking and
commercial capital and, after London and
Constantinople, the third–largest city in Europe.
Wealthy Florentines flaunted their money and power
by becoming patrons, or supporters, of artists and
intellectuals. In this way, the city became the cultural
center of Europe, and of the Renaissance.
Thanks to the patronage of these wealthy elites,
Renaissance–era writers and thinkers were able to
spend their days doing just that. Instead of devoting
themselves to ordinary jobs or to the asceticism of
the monastery, they could enjoy worldly pleasures.
They traveled around Italy, studying ancient ruins
and rediscovering Greek and Roman texts.
To Renaissance scholars and philosophers, these
classical sources held great wisdom. Their secularism,
their appreciation of physical beauty and especially
their emphasis on man’s own achievements and
expression formed the governing intellectual
principle of the Italian Renaissance. This philosophy
is known as “humanism.”
Humanism encouraged people to be curious and to
question received wisdom (particularly that of the
medieval Church). It also encouraged people to use
experimentation and observation to solve earthly
problems. As a result, many Renaissance intellectuals
focused on trying to define and understand the laws
of nature and the physical world. For example,
Renaissance artist Leonardo Da Vinci created
detailed scientific “studies” of objects ranging from
flying machines to submarines. He also created
pioneering studies of human anatomy.
During the Italian Renaissance, art was everywhere.
Patrons such as Florence’s Medici family sponsored
projects large and small, and successful artists
became celebrities in their own right.
Renaissance artists and architects applied many
humanist principles to their work. For example, the
architect Filippo Brunelleschi applied the elements of

CP/18/D06
classical Roman architecture–shapes, columns and
especially proportion–to his own buildings. The
magnificent eight–sided dome he built at the Santa
Maria del Fiore cathedral in Florence was an
engineering triumph–it was 144 feet across, weighed
37,000 tons and had no buttresses to hold it up–as
well as an aesthetic one.
31. Florentines became patrons of artists and
intellectuals to:
a) Become celebrities.
b) Understand the laws of nature.
c) Show their power and money to society.
d) To apply humanist principles to their lives.
32. Consider the following assumptions:
1. Humanism did not tend to support the
orthodox views of the church.
2. Writers of the Renaissance period had to
lead a very Spartan life.
3. Artists did not subscribe to humanist
principles in the renaissance period.
4. People were attracted by humanism
because it helped in solving their day to day
problems.
According to the passages which of the above
assumptions is / are valid?
a) 1 and 2 b) 4 only
c) 2 and 3 d) 1 and 4
33. Which of the following would be true if
wealthy Florentines did not patronize artists
and intellectuals?
a) Artists and intellectuals would become
celebrities in their own right.
