Today we swept upon venice in a thoroughly excited mood for we were examining the renaissance! The renassance spannned from 1400-1600 and started in venice (the cause for our excitment). In the 13th century we heard that Italy was very poor and so wasnt affected by the Gothic movement, this left it open to start the re-birth (Renaissance). It was Giotto who kicked off the process 2 centuires before and now it was taking affect. Artists started to really look at how life looked and were interested in perspective, vanishing points and most importantly realism. The renaissance seemed to me to be an uncovering of what the Greeks were trying to do in their art.

After visiting every museum and a few more aswell we finished the day in a nice restarant on the main cannal. XD.
