Renaissance Word Search
This Renaissance word search holds forty words from Europe's rebirth of art and learning, about 1400 to 1600: Florence and the Medici, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael, the fresco, perspective and the printing press.
Renaissance is French for rebirth, a name scholars gave the period later for its revival of ancient Greek and Roman learning. It began in Florence, where the Medici banking family paid for buildings, paintings and scholars. Around 1420 the architect Filippo Brunelleschi worked out the rules of linear perspective, the vanishing point that makes a flat picture look deep, and he raised the great dome of the city's cathedral, the Duomo, without a wooden frame to hold it up while it was built.
Michelangelo carved his David from a single block of marble that other sculptors had given up on, finishing it in 1504. From 1508 to 1512 he painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, standing on a scaffold of his own design. North of the Alps, Johannes Gutenberg printed with movable metal type in Mainz around 1450, and books became cheap enough for new ideas to cross Europe in a few years.
