1 00:00:01,010 --> 00:00:10,070 Renaissance. What is Renaissance? Renaissance means to be born again and in this case 2 00:00:10,070 --> 00:00:15,570 it's going to be attached to a cultural movement that returns to the ideas of 3 00:00:15,570 --> 00:00:25,050 the antique Greece and Rome, so to the classics. So far people used to draw and 4 00:00:25,050 --> 00:00:28,589 and think in two dimensions. 5 00:00:28,589 --> 00:00:31,890 And Renaissance people started to think 6 00:00:31,890 --> 00:00:35,850 in three dimensional and perspective way. 7 00:00:35,850 --> 00:00:38,810 They were more interested in the past 8 00:00:38,810 --> 00:00:43,090 and why we are in this point. 9 00:00:43,090 --> 00:00:47,530 So Spain was influenced 10 00:00:47,530 --> 00:00:50,109 because the Renaissance started in Italy 11 00:00:50,109 --> 00:00:53,990 and we have many, many important Renaissance people 12 00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:58,990 like Leonardo da Vinci or Donatello, Michelangelo, Raphael, 13 00:00:59,909 --> 00:01:02,090 like the Ninja Turtles. 14 00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:07,090 And they were very important painters and philosophers, 15 00:01:08,650 --> 00:01:13,650 also thinkers, Leonardo da Vinci was even a chef, right? 16 00:01:13,930 --> 00:01:18,930 So they could perform many, many different disciplines 17 00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:27,590 many different disciplines and all focus in how important people were and the perfections of the 18 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:35,230 forms everything has to be perfect has to be very realistic it has to be very close to reality 19 00:01:35,230 --> 00:01:42,430 right um saying was influenced as i said because antonio de neve had wrote the first grammar 20 00:01:42,430 --> 00:01:48,629 which was something very very important because that means that everybody could speak with the 21 00:01:48,629 --> 00:01:56,430 same grammar rules and also the exploration of the Americas give more different points of views 22 00:01:56,430 --> 00:02:03,769 and the knowledge of different cultures which is also very important and Philip II was the 23 00:02:03,769 --> 00:02:12,590 king of Spain when the Renaissance reached Spain and he in charge a very big and magnificent 24 00:02:12,590 --> 00:02:25,370 building that is still on today, which is Monasterio del Escorial, which is one of the 25 00:02:25,370 --> 00:02:33,629 most important Renaissance buildings we have in Spain.

Also, as I said, Cervantes, 28 00:02:48,030 --> 00:02:55,689 who fought in the Battle of Lepanto, wrote Don Quixote de la Mancha. And he was very, 29 00:02:55,689 --> 00:03:06,650 very interested in the feelings and imagination and creativity and style of living of people, 30 00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:14,590 Right. So he was trying to make a portrait of how people lived at those times. 31 00:03:14,810 --> 00:03:31,610 So we also have a very important painter, which paintings are very, very Renaissance because they are very focused on perfection and people, which is El Greco. 32 00:03:31,610 --> 00:03:38,530 If you want to see things about the Greco, then you have to visit Toledo, definitely. 33 00:03:39,169 --> 00:03:40,849 You can find his house. 34 00:03:41,030 --> 00:03:46,610 You can find a museum with all his portraits and paintings. 35 00:03:47,050 --> 00:03:59,150 And it's amazing how he goes to every single detail of clothes or face expressions and everything, right? 36 00:03:59,830 --> 00:04:02,750 So, that's all about the Renaissance. 37 00:04:03,189 --> 00:04:06,169 I hope this makes things more clear. 38 00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:13,349 But if not, next week, I promise I will solve all the doubts you have about these topics. 39 00:04:14,129 --> 00:04:16,110 Hope you have a great week. 40 00:04:16,829 --> 00:04:17,949 See you soon. 41 00:04:18,730 --> 00:04:20,129 Bye and take care.
