Lives of Women in the Renaissance

The Renaissance women's life Renaissance has reached an important era in the history of Western Europe. During this period, there were many new forms of art, literature, customs. Economic, social and cultural changes will affect everyone's life. In particular, the role of women in society will be affected. There are four types of women: wife, mother, widow, daughter. In these categories, certain responsibilities are expected. Jacob Burckhardt once stated that:

The book "Renaissance women" by Margaret King specializes in women's role and life in the Renaissance culture. Her focus is only in Western Europeans and British women who lived between 1350 and 1650. This is a busy time for economic, social and intellectual activities in Europe. Thanks to widespread innovation such as printing presses and new teaching methods, literacy skills have spread to social sectors that had not previously been educated. As a result of the improved literacy rate, the church began to lose control of education and scientific knowledge. This liberalization allowed scholars to study literary and philosophical works of ancient Latin and Greek civilizations. These new circumstances created humanism, which led to the renewal of cultures that have contributed to the development of art, science and architecture throughout Europe.

In the Renaissance period during the Renaissance period, women were neither educational nor considered to be independent. The Renaissance woman is the man's shadow. They are considered delicious, beautiful, not many of their intelligence. At that time their main role in life is to get married and have children and take care of the family. Despite these facts, some women can break these statistics. I believe these women in the Renaissance era are the turning points of art. From this period many new styles and techniques were born. Compared with the Renaissance medieval paintings, the paintings become more realistic and more attention is focused on the details of each individual. Paintings include the sense of perspective, depth and space. You can explore these features in the 15th century Botticelli satisfied paintings.

The history of modern times is generally thought to have started in the second half of the 16th century in the Renaissance period. The Renaissance artist drew a nude picture of a beautiful woman, but the Renaissance had no major impact on the women's historical experience. Either way, the role of women will be more definitely defined as a housewife than anything else. In Europe, women can not vote, strongly hide ownership of business, and much less ownership than men. Young aristocratic women are often forced to get political marriages and all property is transferred to their husbands and they are virtually captured. Strict demands on women's virginity are dominant and women who break the rules are punished as criminals and social exiles
