Middle Ages
It was a continuation of the Middles Ages- for example “That king of yours (Henry VIII of England) may bring back the golden age, though I shall not live to enjoy, as my tale draws to an end” But I also agree that it was a period of distinct from the Middle Ages, there were so many changes- economic, religious, and art after the Middles Ages came to the Renaissance.
Economic changes occurred where there were low prices, excess food, and all of this seems to lead to trade. Banking and credit cards were created. During the “Black death” there was a strained mainly because of the low food supply.
Religious changes affected the church, which was a hug part of their lives during the middles ages and the Renaissance. Humanism focused on individual achievements. For example, DaVinic work was considered humanist. Science was focused on the Renaissance which challenged the church doctrine.
Art changes differ between Middles ages and the Renaissance. Middle Ages, people didn’t make art because they were too focused on church. Renaissance art was similar to the Italian and French and felt more realistic. In the middle ages, Muslims influenced art, and so the Renaissance had more, influences than the middle ages.
In conclusion, the Renaissance was a golden age, but middle Ages were too dark and completed, where as the Renaissance had a stronger economy. In other words, the Middles ages had no care, (Doc 2) “Man was conscious of himself only as member of a race, people, party, family, or

    During the Renaissance period, ideas and beliefs changed significantly. The focus became on humanism, individualism, and secular ideas. Humanism attached the greatest importance to the dignity and worth of the individual. This entirely new way of thinking began to circulate at this time, and the church lost much of its influence. The music lost its rigid meter count and became directly connected to humanity through phrases, textures, and the text. The focus shifted from God to man. This change would give way to the individual and his achievements allowing one to live up to their full potential. Secular ideas revolved around things of this world. The attitudes of humanism and respect for the individual and for independent thought and interests in learning about the world brought science inquiry that led to the development of the sciences, arts, and philosophical concepts. People saw this life as worth living to its fullest, not just as preparation for the next world. During this time, new opportunities came about to travel and trade leading to exposure to different cultures. This…

    Another way, but not the best way to describe the Middle Ages, is the Golden Age. During this time there was not a lot of smart individuals, but there was a keep of knowledge, and new inventions and advancements in technology, architecture, and art came about. “Even at its worst it performed the function of guarding…the knowledge and treasures of what had come before, but more it was creative and inventive, and transmitted to later ages great riches of its own.” (Doc. 6). Although this age was surrounded by rude and fierce ideas, it still managed to propose some advancement in poetry, philosophy, and law (Doc. 7). There was the revival of learning during this time period, and the emergence of the scholastics. While the Middle Ages resemble somewhat of a Golden Age, it is not the best way to describe the Middle Ages.…

    The intellectual decision for most people to become secular from the church dramatically changed the culture of Europe. As people started to become ill with the plague, they started to drift away from the church because they weren’t being healed. The catholic church ran the middle ages. We see this through ideas like Petrine Supremacy and Divine Right. The fact that the pope christens the king into becoming king, “under the power of God” shows how in control the church was. Because of the secularization of people, the church was becoming less powerful, ending the Middle Ages. And because humanism started to form, as the church was ending, the renaissance began.…

    The Middle Ages were known by many historians as a time of ignorance, where little to none advancements took place. The church was the center of attention and beliefs were strictly based off of superstitions. It was a period of faith, disease, terror, feudalism, and advancements in art and architecture. For the most part, the Middle Ages were composed of and relied on three main systems; feudalism, manorialism, and the Roman Catholic Church. All three of the systems were pretty reliable until a time period between 1000 CE and 1600 CE. During this short but crucial time period, disaster struck Western Europe. All three of these systems were altered dramatically and they were basically wiped off the map. The causes of the decline of the Middle…
