1 HOW ARE INEQUALITIES
Inequality indexes
MEASURED?
Wide variety of pictures grouped according to content to aid your understanding.
In the world today there are serious socioeconomic inequalities between countries. The majority of these inequalities have historical roots and have been influenced by globalisation. They are usually measured using a range of indexes.
Traditionally, inequalities between countries’ socioeconomic development have been measured by analysing almost exclusively the differences in wealth and access to materials goods.
ã 1.2 Welfare, some contemporary indicators
Today development is understood as welfare, or the sense of satisfaction felt by the majority of the population. Therefore, in addition to economic wealth, this concept includes other dimensions that affect people’s quality of life. These include:

The Human Development Index (HDI) measures human development according to three dimensions along with their corresponding indicators: living standards, education and health. The result is a scale from 0 to 1. Countries with a very high, high, medium or low level of human development are listed. The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) lists the deprivations suffered by the most disadvantaged people by using the three HDI dimensions, which are measured according to ten indicators (see side table on the previous page). A person is classified as poor when the indicators related to what they are deprived of reach at least 33 % of the total. The degree of poverty is measured by the proportion of indicators that they do not have access to.

Both indexes are produced by the UN and are based on three dimensions: living standards, education and health. In the former index, countries are listed according to very high, high, medium or low levels of human development. The latter index establishes the number of people who are poor based on various dimensions. 258

Multidimensional Poverty Index
The most widely used indexes have been the gross domestic product (GDP), or the total production of a country’s economy, and GDP per capita, which is calculated by dividing a country’s GDP by its number of inhabitants. These indicators are used by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB), for example.

➜ The clergy was the social order that suffered the least. The division between the senior and junior clergy was maintained: the former lived in a similar manner to the nobility, while the latter lived in conditions similar to that of the common people.
ã 5.2 The commoners or third estate ➜ The peasantry in Western Europe were free from feudal conditions, unlike those in Eastern Europe, but in both cases their situation worsened due to the wars, the agrarian crises and the increased incomes required by the nobility.
➜ The bourgeoisie grew in number through its involvement in trade and business affairs across Western Europe, which made it wealthier. In contrast, in Spain, the bourgeoisie preferred to invest its money in acquiring land and becoming part of the nobility through marriage ties or by purchasing aristocratic titles.
➜ The urban groups of small traders and artisans suffered from the crisis in traditional forms of handicrafts, which left them impoverished and without work; while manufacturing workers lived in abysmal conditions. In Spain, the crisis increased the number of paupers, ruffians and picaros in cities.
ã 5.3 City life: the main square 17th-century cities were unhealthy as they lacked the most basic services, such as running water, street lighting and sewers. In Spain, the main square (plaza mayor) became the most important urban space. It was an open space surrounded by buildings with porticoes supported by arcades. It was where markets were held and artisans’ workshops were located, along with guild offices, political institutions and municipal warehouses. It served as a setting for entertainment and political and religious festivities (royal parades, processions, religious performances, jousting matches and various forms of bullfighting). It was also the site for other events such as the punishment of criminals and the Inquisition’s autos-da-fé. Often there would be one special balcony (miradero), which was for the authorities.

In the first millennium of our era, at the time of maximum expansion of Mayan and other preColumbian cultures in South America, there were similar deforestation practices taking place in China to grow rice. In the opinion of experts in Mayan archaeology, it is “the first time that human civilisations had a global impact on the planet.” In 2012, a study led by NASA stated that the deforestation caused by the Mayan civilisation was so severe that it influenced the local climate. Droughts would have become stronger and the lack of rainfall could have been one of the determining factors for the abandonment of large cities and the collapse of their civilisation.

Archaeology highlights the important environmental impact that the Mayan civilisation had on its surroundings. To increase arable land, they burned larger and larger forested areas to create canals and corn, squash and avocado plantations. There is also evidence of shellfish farming and ceramic remains have been found. These activities increased carbon dioxide and methane emissions.

The large population needed to be fed. One of the crop areas analysed included a network of 71 kilometres of crisscrossed canals which were about three meters wide. The canals served as crop irrigation and also as a means of transport. The Mayan population could reach the Caribbean Sea through these channels.

En 2018, Pepa Gamboa and Yayo Cáceres premiered Los empeños de una casa, a baroque piece written in 1683 by sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. It is a comedy of entanglements in which love, doubt, anger and confusion coexist around two romantic couples, where the strength of the women protagonists stands out.

She began her artistic career with the creation of the theatre company El traje de Arta. Her work became known thanks to the adaptation and direction of La casa de Bernarda Alba, where the female protagonists were interpreted by gypsy women.

Thinking techniques Logic Wheel This thinking technique will help you to establish phases when analysing specific content that you have to study.
Identify What is it? What is it like? Are there different types?
By following a logical sequence (the logic wheel), and by asking yourself a series of questions in each phase, you can:
1
• Identify content by asking yourself: What is it? What is it like? Are there different types? • Compare the content by formulating questions such as: In what way is it similar to ...? In what way is it different from ...? • Establish cause-effect relationships by asking yourself questions such as: Why? What impact does it have ...? • Argue, assess and ask yourself questions such as: What conclusions can be drawn after the analysis? What can be assessed or scored about it? Doing a data dump of these questions into a graphic organiser will help you. Authorship: Hernández, P., and García, L. A.; adapted by Escamilla, A.

The beginning of the Modern Age. 15th and 16th centuries Beatriz Galindo My name is Beatriz Galindo and I was born in Salamanca in 1465. From a young age, I showed great interest in culture and humanities, so I studied Grammar and Latin. In 1486 Isabel la Católica, queen of Castilla, asked me to go to court. I was the governess of her children, the infantes. As time passed, the queen and I became good friends and I have given her some advice regarding several political issues. I have always been interested in studying classical culture and, due to my knowledge of Latin, I am called “La Latina”. In the 15th century, classical Antiquity is being used as a model. This has encouraged the appearance and expansion of a new way of thinking: Humanism, which enhances the faculties of the human being. Renaissance is the new artistic style. It puts into practice the humanistic ideas that have spread around Europe and Spain thanks to the printing press, a German invention of this time. For a better understanding of the Modern Age, you are going to learn about: • The beginning of a new historical period and the changes that took place in the 15th and 16th centuries • The explorations of the kingdoms of Portugal and Castilla and the discovery of America • The birth of the modern state • The Reformation and the Counter-Reformation • Humanism and its spread • The Renaissance. The Quattrocentro and the Cinquecento • The Flemish school and the Renaissance in Germany and France
Reading and listening
1 Read the text and answer the following questions: a) What was Beatriz Galindo interested in? b) What was her role at court? c) What is the nickname given to Beatriz and why? d) What is Humanism? e) Thanks to what invention did humanistic ideas spread?
2 What is the printing press and why is it considered a turning point in History?
Speaking
3 Make a timeline that includes relevant events that mark the beginning of the Modern Age. In groups, check whether you have identified the same ones. Then use the information from the timeline to make true or false sentences. Say your sentences out loud so others can identify the false sentences and correct them.
4 Some of the geographical discoveries and scientific advances in this period opened new trade routes that changed international commerce. Use a map to identify them and explain the connection between these routes and the changes in this period.
In my opinion, transoceanic routes were possible because of the development of navigation tools. This route connects Spain and Mexico.
Writing
5 In the Renaissance, artists stopped being considered simple craftsmen. Their creations drifted towards a wider variety of topics apart from religious ones, partly because of the appearance of patrons of the arts, also called mecenas. Read the example and write a page in the diary of an artist like Michelangelo or Leonardo da Vinci that shows the influence of the mecenas in their lives.
This morning I went to see my benefactor. He wants me to paint a portrait of his beautiful daughter.

The start of the Modern Age 1563
COUNCIL OF TRENT
ã 1.1 A new historical period The Modern Age is the historical period from the 15th to the 18th century. The year in which this period began is a subject of debate amongst historians. The most widely accepted dates are either the capture of Constantinople by the Turks (1453) or the discovery of America (1492). Its conclusion is marked by the French Revolution (1789). The Modern Age is often divided into a number of sub-periods which have more or less homogeneous features: the 16th century, or Renaissance period; the 17th century, or Baroque period; and the 18th century, or Enlightenment and Absolutism.

• The geographical discoveries made by the Portuguese and Castilians in Africa, America and Asia extended the frontiers of the world known to Europeans. Thanks to these discoveries, some countries, such as Spain and Portugal, established extensive colonial empires whose wealth stimulated world trade.
• The struggle for European hegemony pitted the major states

against one another; during the 16th century the Spanish state imposed its dominance.
➜ The feudal system entered a period of crisis. The feudal kingdoms were substituted by the modern State and authoritarian monarchies. The feudal economy, which had been focused on the possession of land, gave way to commercial capitalism, which was based on the accumulation of large amounts of capital through trade and colonisation. During this process, the bourgeoisie gained greater importance in society's three estates.

At the beginning of the Modern Age, the world known to Europeans was very limited (1): it was restricted to Western Europe and the Mediterranean region. Beyond this, people had heard vague references to African and Asian kingdoms and empires from medieval voyagers such as Marco Polo. Exploratory voyages made it possible
for other civilisations to be discovered and resulted in the creation of the Spanish and Portuguese colonial empires (2) during the 16th century. The exchange of goods between states and their colonies encouraged transatlantic trade and enabled people to discover new products.

C
From the 15th century, the feudal system and traditional beliefs underwent a major crisis. Monarchs (A) ruled over the nobility and city governments. Commerce became very important and ever more widespread, so the bourgeoisie made considerable fortunes. The Protestant Reformation
questioned the authority of the papacy (B) as shown in the relief by Wittember (Germany), the Catholic Pope León X admonished Luther, and some intellectuals such as Leonardo da Vinci boosted humanism and the renaissance of Greek and Roman culture and art (C).

2 THE DISCOVERIES (I).
Old and new routes
CAUSES BEHIND THE PROCESS The extension of European knowledge of the world and the exploration of new geographical spaces is due to a range of causes.
ã 2.1 Political and economic causes
A
➜ Political causes. Following the conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, the Christian kingdoms took control of new territories. For the monarchs, the conquest of territories was an opportunity to acquire gold and silver to finance their rule as well as gain personal glory. It was a way to demonstrate their power over the medieval institutions.
➜ Economic consequences. The fall of Constantinople to the Turks (1453) had closed the traditional European trade route that brought supplies of spices from Asia. Therefore, to bring them to Europe it was necessary to use a new route. There was interest in finding a sea route to India and China, to bring back luxury products (silk, precious stones), as well as a route giving access to Sudan’s gold mines and other North African products (slaves, ivory).
ã 2.2 Scientific and technical causes ➜ Scientific causes. During this period, books argued that the Earth was round and much smaller than it really is (Ptolemy’s Geographia, Pierre d’Ailly’s Imago Mundi). Curious sailors considered it feasible to reach India or China by sailing westwards.
B Spices and silk were essential commodities in Europe during this period. They arrived via the Asian routes and Constantinople (A). These routes were closed following the city’s capture by the Turks, and this encouraged the search for a route providing direct access to the products. The Castilians tried to get there by travelling west, but America stood in their way. The Portuguese achieved it by sailing along the coast of Africa until they reached India (B).
➜ Technical causes. Sea navigation improved thanks to the widespread use of the compass and the improvement of the astrolabe, which enabled mariners to find their way by night, using the stars as a guide. The development of cartography provided new world maps and portolan charts, which set out the location of ports and enabled ships to navigate without needing to keep the coast in sight. Besides, in southern Spain and Portugal, new types of ship were built, such as the caravel and carrack, constructed to take advantage of the wind and withstand the big waves of the Atlantic thanks to their large sails and high gunwales.
ã 2.3 Religious and ideological causes ➜ Religious causes. The peninsular kingdoms maintained their desire to fight against the infidel and to create alliances against them. This prompted interest in finding the legendary Christian kingdom of Prester John, which was thought to be in Africa and surrounded by infidels. There was interest in spreading Christianity to new lands.

Nautical instruments and new ships Nautical equipment Sand clock
When far out at sea, the sailors of the period used simple but efficient instruments.
Quadrant
The sand clock allowed people to measure short time intervals precisely. With the Jacob’s staff and quadrant they could measure the sun’s height above the horizon at midday, or that of the North Star at night: they were thereby able to calculate which latitude they were in. The portolan charts were maps which had a graphic scale and were marked with routes; they made it easier to use compasses to check the direction of the ship when out at sea.
Astrolabe
The astrolabe enabled them to use the stars to measure distances and to check the ship’s latitude as well as the time. The direction of the ship was checked with a needle point on a compass; the point needed to show north. The nocturnal was used to measure time at night and also the tides.

The caravel was a lightweight vessel with three masts, enabling it to combine square and triangular sails and navigate even in adverse wind conditions. It also had a hold which could carry plenty of supplies for long journeys.

3 THE DISCOVERIES (II).
JOURNEYS AND TRAVELLERS ã 3.1 The Portuguese explorations From the mid-15th century, the Portuguese prince, Henry the Navigator, encouraged the exploration of the African coast. Portugal’s aim was to gain access to Sudan’s gold supplies and trade with India. There was rivalry* with Castilla in this region. It was resolved with the signing of the Treaty of Alcáçovas in 1479. Castilla was granted the right to conquer the Canary Islands, while Portugal was allowed to explore the African coast south of Cape Bojador. The Portuguese occupied the Madeira, Azores and Cape Verde archipelagos. They reached Cape Bojador in 1431 and the Gulf of Guinea in 1460. Bartolomeu Dias rounded the Cape of Good Hope in 1487. In 1498 Vasco da Gama reached India. Along the African and Asian coasts, the Portuguese founded colonies, built forts to oversee the trade in Sudanese gold and slaves and monopolise the spice trade with India and the silk trade with China.
ã 3.2 Castilla. The discovery of America America was discovered by Christopher Columbus, a sailor who may have been born in Genoa. His aim, based on his conviction that the world was round, was to sail westwards across the Atlantic to reach India. In 1484, he presented his project to King John II of Portugal who rejected it. It was then offered to the Catholic Monarchs, who accepted it in their Capitulations of Santa Fe (1492). Columbus set sail with three boats from the port of Palos (Huelva). He stopped at the Canary Islands and, on 12 October 1492, he landed on the Caribbean Island of Guanahani, which he renamed San Salvador. He reconnoitred* the islands of Cuba and Hispaniola and was struck by their potential wealth. After returning on three further occasions, he died in 1506 believing that he had reached the Indies, the name used at the time to refer to Insulindia, South and Southeast Asia. These territories were given this name and their inhabitants were called Indians.
ã 3.3 Sharing out the world and new expeditions The Catholic Monarchs were granted sovereignty over the Indies by the Pope, and, to avoid conflict with the Portuguese crown, they agreed the areas of influence of their respective countries in the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494). This treaty established a frontier 370 leagues to the west of the Cape Verde Islands: the lands located to the west of this line would belong to Castilla and those to the east, to Portugal. Portugal staked its claim to Brazil in 1500. In the 16th century, the successors to the Catholic Monarchs granted a ‘licence to explore’ to other sailors, who explored the American coasts. In 1513, Vasco Núñez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama and discovered the Southern Sea, which was renamed the Pacific Ocean. in 1519 and 1522, Magellan and Elcano completed the first voyage around the world and demonstrated that the Earth was round.

Columbus had studied the map drawn up by the Florentine scholar Toscanelli. According to this map (A), there were only 120 000 km between Lisbon and Southeast Asia. This was the reason why Columbus, when he reached San Salvador on his first voyage (B), thought that he had found the Island of Chipango (Japan).

4 THE BIRTH OF
The art of government
THE MODERN STATE ã 4.1 The authoritarian monarchies During the Modern Age, the feudal European monarchies became authoritarian monarchies. The king reinforced his power over the kingdom as a whole by imposing his authority over the nobility and limiting the autonomy of the municipalities. This new way of organising the State is referred to as the modern State. In Europe, authoritarian monarchies took root in France, England and the kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula. However, Germany and Italy did not manage to create unified states.
In 1513, the Florentine Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527) completed The Prince, which was intended as a book of instructions for rulers. The book advocates the view that the goal of government is to attain and maintain power, and that ‘national or state interest’ should have priority over the rights and interests of individuals.
ã 4.2 The instruments of royal power
The monarchs reinforced their power in a number of ways:
➜ Territorial unification. They unified their territories and extended the size of their state by waging wars and negotiating marriage alliances.
➜ Control of the state’s powers. Monarchs imposed their authority on the high-ranking nobility, restricted the autonomy of the municipalities, exerted influence over the allocation of positions of authority and summoned Parliament (Las Cortes, in Spain) as little as possible.
➜ Improved administration. The monarch’s courts would be established in one city, which became the capital city; a bureaucracy of professional civil servants was created to carry out the monarch’s orders and standard taxes were levied, which provided regular income without monarchs having to approach Parliament.
➜ Creation of a permanent army. Monarchs substituted the feudal troops, who were only called into service at times of war, with a permanent army that was basically made up of paid mercenaries.
➜ Organisation
of international relations. Diplomatic relations were established with other countries. This diplomacy was based on permanent ambassadors, who were in charge of defending the monarchy’s interests and resolving conflicts in a peaceful manner.

ã 5.2 Economic growth ➜ Agrarian activities. In the 16th century, the agricultural sector was encouraged by good harvests and the clearing of new land.
➜ The handicrafts sector avoided guild control by developing a system of homeworking, in which businesspeople provided the peasantry with raw materials and tools to make products at home. They would then collect them and sell them on.
➜ Trade grew as a result of geographical discoveries; trade routes were diversified and new products from America were incorporated (tobacco, wood, coffee). The importance of the Atlantic and North Sea trade had a positive impact on the ports of Lisbon and Sevilla, as opposed to the Mediterranean trade, which focused on Italian ports.
➜ The emergence and early development of the capitalist economic system. At its outset, it was mercantilism or merchant capitalism, based on the accumulation of capital acquired from trade. The first banks were founded, both official ones (Taula de Canvi in Barcelona) and private ones (Fugger, Medici); there was also greater circulation of money, mercantile and banking operations were simplified (cheques, promissory notes), and the first trading companies were established.
C
RE AT E In the Modern Age, the activation of trade and long distance routes allowed for the development of another economic activity: banking. Moneylending was necessary to allow for the expansion of the economy. However, the Catholic church did not approve of it.

Following the geographical discoveries, the Atlantic Ocean trade routes gradually became more significant than the Mediterranean trade routes. The spice route was controlled by the Portuguese; it left from Malacca, Guangzhou (Canton) and India, followed the African coast and ended in Lisbon, from where the spices were redistributed across Europe. The gold and silver route, which was controlled by the Castilians, left from Peru and Mexico and ended in Sevilla. Soon, others were added, such as the slave route, which linked Africa and the Antilles; and the Pacific route, which linked Mexico and the Philippines.

The nobility and the clergy formed two privileged estates, who did not have to pay taxes. in 1599 Vicente Requena painted the eclessiastic community in the Sala Nova in the Generalitat Valenciana.

6 CHANGE AND RELIGIOUS
CONFLICTS. REFORMATION AND COUNTER-REFORMATION
The wars of religion War between Catholics and Huguenots
During the 16th century the Protestant Reformation spread across Europe. It caused a collapse of the religious unity in Western Europe. As a result, the Catholic Church launched the Counter-Reformation.
ã 6.1 The causes of the Reformation ➜ Disdain for the papacy and clergy. The Roman Catholic Church was very powerful in Europe. However, many believed that popes were mainly concerned with their own interests; bishops lived a life of luxury and did not reside in their dioceses; the lower-ranking clergy lacked education, did not preach and failed to set a moral example; and many religious orders did not adhere to the established rules.
➜ The abuses of the Church. These included nepotism, or favouritism by the high-ranking clergy towards members of their own family when allocating ecclesiastic positions; nicolaism, or common-law marriage as practised by many priests; and simony, or the sale of ecclesiastical posts. The pope, bishops and cardinals also sold forgiveness for sins to whoever bought a document of indulgences.
ã 6.2 Reforms and reformers The Lutheran Reformation The renewal of the Church began in Germany, where the Augustinian monk Martin Luther rejected the sale of indulgences carried out by Pope Leo X to pay for the building work being undertaken at the Vatican. In 1517, Luther displayed his 95 theses against the sale of indulgences and other aspects of Catholicism. The pope condemned and excommunicated Luther in 1521. Lutheranism was based on justification by faith and a free interpretation of the bible. Luther rejected papal infallibility, accepted only two of the sacraments (Baptism and the Eucharist), supressed the cult of the Virgin Mary and the saints, and simplified the liturgy. Lutheran doctrine spread through a number of German states and central and northern Europe.
The Calvinist Reformation The Calvinist doctrine was preached by John Calvin from 1536 onwards in Geneva (Switzerland). It was based on the belief in predestination, according to which people are destined by God to be saved or condemned. This doctrine was popular amongst the bourgeoisie of the Netherlands, Switzerland, Scotland, France and England. The Calvinists were known as Huguenots in France and Puritans in England.
Between 1524 and 1697, religious differences provoked a number of conflicts in Europe, which were known as the ‘wars of religion’. During the 16th century, the most significant conflicts were in France, between Catholics and Huguenots (1562-1598); in the German Empire, the Peasants’ War (1524-1525) and the Schmalkaldic War (1546-1547); and in the Netherlands, the Eighty Years’ War (1568-1648).

➜ The Council of Trent (1545-1563). The Council was created by Pope Paul III, and it defined Catholic doctrine, which was disseminated in the form of the catechism: good deeds were needed to attain salvation; only the Church could interpret the bible; the pope was infallible; there were seven sacraments; the saints and Virgin were subjects of devotion, etc. The council also set out rules to halt disdain for the clergy, such as requirements for bishops to live in their dioceses. The creation of seminaries to train priests was also promoted, amongst other measures.
➜ The Society of Jesus. It was founded by Saint Ignatius of Loyola in 1540 and was an important source of support for the CounterReformation. Its members had to swear a special vow of obedience to the pope. They received sound theological training and dedicated themselves to preaching and education.

7 HUMANISM. THE NEW VISION OF MANKIND
Scientific advances Astronomy Heliocentric theory
Geocentric theory
ã 7.1 The characteristics of Humanism During the 15th century, Humanism emerged in Italy. It was an intellectual movement in contrast to that of the Middle Ages.
➜ Classical antiquity was taken as a model. The philosophical, literary, scientific and artistic works produced by the Greeks and Romans were studied, disseminated and used as a source of inspiration.
➜ Mankind was conceived as being at the centre of the world. In the medieval period, a theocentric view of life prevailed in which God was conceived as being at the centre. The Humanists or intellectuals, in contrast, advocated an anthropocentric view along with human values such as freedom and reason. They also defended the values of the classical world, individualism, the search for earthly honour, success, fame, prestige and power.
Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) was the first person to formulate the theory of heliocentrism, according to which the Sun was located at the centre of the universe and the Earth revolved around it. Copernicus’ theory contradicted the Ptolemaic theory of geocentrism, which was the current theory at the time and affirmed that the Earth was at the centre of the universe.

ã 7.2 The areas of Humanistic thought Humanism encompassed all areas of life:
➜ Literary and philosophical. Humanists translated and wrote commentaries on classical writings, but they did so using the original texts. Pico della Mirandola and Niccolò Machiavelli were two leading Italian Humanists.
➜ Religious. It combined admiration for the classical thinkers with the gospel’s message. Erasmus of Rotterdam and Sir Thomas More were two key representatives.
1. P aracelsus (1493-1541), a Swiss alchemist and physician, is considered to be the first modern doctor thanks to his studies of a range of illnesses and ways of curing them. 2. A ndreas Vesalius (1514-1564) is considered to be the father of modern anatomy because he based his studies on first-hand observation.
➜ Scientific. It sought to explain natural phenomena through the use of reason, observation and experiment. Its principal figures were Nicolaus Copernicus, Paracelsus and Andreas Vesalius.
ã 7.3 The spread of Humanism Humanistic thought spread all across Europe between the 15th and 16th centuries. A contributing factor were the journeys undertaken by Humanists, which permitted the exchange of ideas between intellectuals from different countries; the foundation of academies, which disseminated knowledge about classical culture and the invention of the printing press, which meant books could be produced in greater numbers and at lower prices.

The printing press is a mechanical means of reproducing texts that also allowed them to be made in series. It was invented in around 1448 by Gutenberg, a German goldsmith who perfected Chinese printing techniques by using moveable metallic types for each letter, which could then be reused. Thanks to the printing press, there was an increase in book production, paper was used instead of parchment and the content was adapted to the tastes of a growing readership.

8 THE RENAISSANCE
IN ITALY (I). ARCHITECTURE
Modular theories of proportion and linear perspective Mathematical modules The Renaissance revived the importance of the human figure and its proportions. A return was made to the ideal canon of proportions, which was a module that measured the length of eight heads, while the module for ideal human height was the length of the arms held out wide.
Humanistic ideas in the field of art led to the development of the Renaissance artistic style. It arose in Italy in the 15th century (quattrocento), and extended across the rest of Europe in the 16th century (cinquecento).
ã 8.1 Characteristics of the Renaissance
The latter module was represented by Leonardo da Vinci in his Vitruvian Man.
➜ Classical antiquity provided the artistic model. This led to artists using the materials and forms employed by Greek and Roman artists.
➜ Art was inspired by nature and sought to represent reality. It used mathematical methods such as modular theories to calculate proportions, and linear perspective to represent pictorial depth.
Linear perspective The line of sight
Viewer
➜ Art returned to anthropocentrism. Buildings were
1
made on a human scale and the human being was the protagonist of sculptures and paintings. Ideal beauty, serenity and equilibrium were sought after.
➜ Artists gained a better social status, and fame in various disciplines. They signed their works, and were supported by wealthy patrons, such as the Medicis in Florence and the papacy in Rome.
ã 8.2 Architecture and its periods Architects were inspired by classical models. They used stone as a building material and the Greek and Roman architectonic orders, semicircular arches and both flat and vaulted roofs. The most celebrated buildings were churches, which were built on a Latin or Greek cross plan, while palaces were constructed with a variety of floor levels and doors and windows completed with pediments.
➜ In the 15th century, Florence provided the birthplace of the new style. Brunelleschi inaugurated the Renaissance with the dome for Florence Cathedral. He established the models for Renaissance churches and palaces (the church of San Lorenzo and the Pitti Palace). Alberti designed the façade of the Church of Santa Maria Novella and the Palazzo Rucellai.
➜ In the 16th century, the centre of Italian architecture moved to Rome. The popes commissioned many buildings, for example, San Pietro in Montorio and Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican, which was designed by Bramante and continued by other architects including Michelangelo. 44
The line of sight
2
Linear perspective is used to create a sense of depth. It consists of a series of lines that converge at a single point (the line of sight or vanishing point) located at the limit of viewer’s field of vision (1). This type of perspective was applied in paintings and many types of buildings. For example, in the Church of San Lorenzo, built by Brunelleschi in Florence, all the lines converged at a single point: the altar (2).

Under the influence of classical and painters took an interest in the body, ideal beauty and symmetrical compositions. The preferred subjects and mythological as well as portraits.
The quattrocento Renaissance sculptors and painters sought to represent an ideal of beauty, which they considered to be the result of harmony and proportion. To do so, they returned to the concept of the canon, which established the proportions of the human figure according to a module or unit of measurement.

Ghiberti
ã 9.1 Quattrocento The most celebrated 15th century sculptors were Ghiberti, for his reliefs of the Gates of Paradise at the Baptistery of Florence Cathedral; and Donatello, for sculptures such as David, Saint George, and the Condottiero Gattamelata, the first equestrian statue made in Italy since the Roman period. The most prestigious painters of the period were Masaccio, who applied his special interest in perspective to works such as the Trinity and The Tribute Money; and Botticelli, who created mythological paintings filled with movement, such as Primavera and The Birth of Venus.
Detail from the Gates of Paradise of the Baptistery of the Cathedral in Florence: Isaac with Esau and Jacob.
Botticelli
ã 9.2 Cinquecento ➜ The most acclaimed sculptor of the 16th century was Michelangelo. His works in marble combined powerful effect with anatomical perfection. Amongst these are the sculptures of David, Moses, a number of pietàs, and the tombs he carved for the Medici family.
➜ Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) produced few works, but they are of very high quality. His major technical contribution was the sfumato technique, which he applied in works such as Last Supper, Mona Lisa and The Virgin of the Rocks.
➜ Michelangelo (1475-1564), as a painter, displayed special interest in nudes, movement, variety of poses, drawing and the depiction of volume. His main work was the series of frescoes that decorate the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican; the ceiling is decorated with scenes from the Old Testament and the altar wall displays his Last Judgement.
➜ Raphael (1483-1520) achieved great perfection in his use of drawing, colour and composition. His principal works were the School of Athens, a work he painted in fresco to decorate a series of rooms in the Vatican; numerous portraits as well as depictions of the Virgin and Child.

ã 10.1 The Flemish school
The Flemish Primitives The oil painting technique enabled them to produce paintings with rich colours, luminosity and great detail. Many of these represented the wealthy bourgeoisie of the region who were the patrons of the artworks.
Jan van Eyck
In the Netherlands, the most significant artistic medium of the period was painting. It was developed in Ghent and Bruges, where there was a wealthy bourgeoisie who commissioned works of art to decorate their houses. The Flemish school, whose painters are known as ‘Flemish Primitives’, had its own characteristics. The principal one was the introduction of oil painting technique, which involved dissolving pigments in linseed oil; and using canvas as a support. Flemish paintings achieved brilliant effects of colouring and great luminosity. It was possible to produce transparencies and the paintings included an increasing degree of detail. The van Eyck brothers initiated this regional school of painting with the polyptych of the Ghent Altarpiece, which included the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb. Jan van Eyck, produced excellent portraits, such as The Arnolfini Portrait.
The Arnolfini Portrait (detail)
Roger van der Weyden
Rogier van der Weyden introduced the expression of feelings into works such as the Descent from the Cross and the Crucifixion, with the Virgin and Saint John the Evangelist Mourning. Bosch criticised and caricatured the society of his day through scenes and fantastical beings, such as those included in The Garden of Earthly Delights and The Temptations of Saint Anthony Abbott.
ã 10.2 The Renaissance in Germany and France
Italian Renaissance art spread across Europe in the 16th century. Kings and nobles commissioned Italian artists to come and paint at their courts, or bought Italian works of art that provided a model for local artists. Some European artists went to Italy to study and, then, introduced the new style to their respective countries.

➜ In Germany, the most important artistic figure was the painter Albrecht Dürer, who was a great draughtsman and engraver. His most celebrated works are his self-portraits and Adam and Eve.
➜ In France, the Renaissance was established during the reign of Francis I, who built numerous castlepalaces along the Loire Valley, for example, the Château of Chambord.

Unit 1
Albrecht Dürer Self-portrait. Dürer painted himself as an elegant nobleman. By doing so, he tried to elevate the status of the artist, placing the artist above the opinion held in the Middle Ages that artists were simple artisans.
Adam and Eve. Dürer showed an interest in painting the naked body. He was inspired while studying classical sculptures during his trips to Italy. Adam and Eve shows an ideal beauty, and is painted over a dark background, so the body attracts all the attention. Eve holds the branch of an apple tree upon which the snake is wrapped around, and Adam holds the forbidden fruit.

6 The pietà has been a recurring subject in the history of art. It emerged at the end of the Gothic period. During the Renaissance, Michelangelo produced four different versions, which include the one in Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican. It was then developed during the Baroque, which was the characteristic style of the 17th century. Analyse the images below and answer the following questions: a) To which period do they each belong?
2 Explain the reasons for these historical facts: a) The capture of Constantinople by the Turks was of great importance for the period. b) Columbus thought he had reached Cipango.
b) What differences can you detect between the two pietàs? c) What characteristics of Renaissance sculpture do you note in sculpture B?

It is strange for women to give classes at the university, even though we are living through changes in which the love of knowledge and the spread of humanism are a reality. I admire the work of other women who, like me, dedicate their lives to wisdom. I share with Beatriz Galindo a love for Latin, to which I also add an interest in law. In the court of Isabel I, there are some women who receive humanistic training, but there are still only a few of us who want humanities and the arts to be our main occupation.

In 2016, the prosecutor Soledad Cazorla Prieto (1955-2015), who was responsible for directing the Spanish network of prosecutors specialised in violence against women, received the award posthumously. In 2017, it was the Mexican anthropologist María Marcela Lagarde (1948), a researcher on women and their problems; she secured the creation of the Special Feminicide Commission in the Mexican Congress to investigate the murders of women in Ciudad Juarez. She also promoted the enactment of the General Law on Women’s Access to a Life Free of Violence (2007). In 2018 the award went to the doctor and university professor Miguel Lorente Acosta (1962), an expert and Government anayaeducacion.es Go to the SDG 4.6 and 5.5 resources.
It has come to my attention that, in 1514, the Italian scholar Lucio Marineo Sulario, with whom I coincided with at university, praises my way of working. I am very happy for this recognition even though, perhaps because of the differences that exist between Spanish and Italian, he has renamed me Lucia. I hope that my work can serve as an example to other young ladies and I wish to have many of them as students in my classrooms.

s applying skill Magellan–Elcano At the beginning of the Modern Age the known world was smaller. But, the European push for discovery was going to enlarge it within just a few years, especially the two Iberian countries, which by then had distributed the best sea routes between them: Portugal to the east and Spain to the west.
follow the initial plan to return to America, although it ended up being captured by the Portuguese. Finally, in the summer of 1522, after having crossed three oceans, 18 men returned, under the command of Juan Sebastián Elcano, in the only ship left. Its name was Victoria. They had demonstrated that the Earth was round.
The Moluccas Islands, in Indonesia, were famous for their abundance of spices, but the eastern route to them was reserved for the Portuguese. Thus, the Spaniards set out to find a route sailing west.
1 As in the imaginary Around the world in 80 days by Jules Verne, after completing the world tour, Victoria’s navigation calendar did not coincide with that of the port of Sevilla. This was due to the rotation of the Earth. What was the difference in the calendars?
In the summer of 1519, five ships under the command of the Portuguese Fernando de Magallanes departed from Sevilla with about 250 crew members and about 500 tons of provisions to last two years. Heading west, by the time they discovered the Pacific passage, they had already lost two ships and many men. In a desperate 100-day trip, suffering with scurvy due to a shortage of provisions, the little wind in their sails took them to the Philippine Islands.
a) The one on the ship marked one day more. b) The one on the ship marked one day less. c) The one at the port marked one year more. d) The one at the port marked one year less.
Exploring the archipelago, the indigenous attacks finished off several men and the captain himself, leading them to abandon another ship due to a lack of crew members. When the survivors arrived in the Moluccas it was November 1521. At the end of the year, loaded with spices, it was decided that one ship would continue west and another, after being repaired, would
