Artist-Engineers During the Renaissance

The development of science and technology can be noticed for many years. Advances in science and technology make life better, easier and more efficient. I will take up a computer as an example. In the past, computers were as large as the room, and computer screens could hurt their eyes, so it was uncomfortable to use. On the contrary, today the size of the computer is as small as the palm size, and the display is excellent. Unlike previous computers, computers are slow and limited in function Current computers are fast and have all the functions people need in their daily lives.

Science and engineering are other fields that have made major changes in the Renaissance era. Many new and exciting discoveries have been discovered mainly in the field of anatomy, astronomy, and physics. Advances in engineering also paved the way for many of the world's most important inventions, such as telescopes, watches, and glasses. Revolutionary Renaissance scientists and inventors include Galileo Galilei and Leonardo da Vinci. In 1507, an Italian author named Burda Salay Castiglione published a book named "Kottel" famous by Italian writers. Inspired by his observation of the public actions of people in this book, Castiglione outlines the way he thinks "perfect" men and women should behave. Half a century ago, with the invention of printing press, many people in Europe read "The Courtier" at once.

During the Renaissance, artists expressed desire for the natural world in a realistic way, at the same time rediscovered Greek philosophy, artists began learning mathematics. They are both engineers and architects of that era, so we need math anyway. It has been strongly studied from the point of view of painting art, and from the development of geometry involved. In the 17th century, mathematics and scientific thinking throughout Europe increased unprecedentedly. Galileo observed the orbiting satellites of Jupiter using a toy-based telescope imported from the Netherlands. Digubrach collected a large amount of mathematical data representing the location of the sky planet. Through Johenes Kepler 's position as an assistant to Brahe, he first took a communication on the theme of planetary sports and exchanged seriously. Kepler's calculation was simplified by the logarithm devised by John Napier and Jost Bürgi.
