Hello, it's Elizabeth here, and today I'm talking about Social Sciences 5, Unit 6, Lesson 5.

2
00:00:09,550 --> 00:00:17,269
So today the name of the lesson is, What was the Golden Age?

3
00:00:17,429 --> 00:00:24,609
And within this lesson we will be talking about two really important things, and those two things will be,

4
00:00:24,609 --> 00:00:32,590
which Spanish artists became famous in the golden age and which writers were important in the golden

5
00:00:32,590 --> 00:00:41,250
age. So we already have a hint of what this lesson is going to be about, artists and writers. So

6
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:51,429
let's get into it. So first we will talk about what the golden age is. So during the Habsburg

7
00:00:51,429 --> 00:01:00,530
dynasty, many great Spanish artists and writers became famous. Because of this, the 16th and 17th

8
00:01:00,530 --> 00:01:11,569
century are now known as the Golden Age. Okay, the first question. Which Spanish artists became

9
00:01:11,569 --> 00:01:19,390
famous in the Golden Age? In the 16th century, the most important painter was a Greek painter

10
00:01:19,390 --> 00:01:29,030
named El Greco. In 1577, he went to Toledo and lived there for many years. In the 17th century,

11
00:01:29,189 --> 00:01:36,650
there were other great painters such as Murillo and Velazquez. Murillo painted religious paintings

12
00:01:36,650 --> 00:01:43,890
and Velazquez was a painter at the court of Felipe IV. All right, and now we're going to

13
00:01:43,890 --> 00:01:51,810
talk about the writers. The question is which writers were important in the Golden Age?

14
00:01:52,170 --> 00:02:01,049
The most important writer was Cervantes. He wrote Don Quixote. Lope de Vega was another

15
00:02:01,049 --> 00:02:10,069
important writer. He wrote many plays, poems, and novels. Tirso de Molina was a friend of Lope de

16
00:02:10,069 --> 00:02:18,889
and a monk he also wrote plays short stories and poems they were very popular

17
00:02:18,889 --> 00:02:26,389
writers at this time so just to sum it up what is the Golden Age it's the age

18
00:02:26,389 --> 00:02:34,349
in Spain of writers and artists and it's in the 16th and 17th century all right

19
00:02:34,349 --> 00:02:39,949
