Renaissance - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Renaissance Alberti's theory of painting was influential at least as far as the Impressionists, and in architecture Alberti's theory underlies the Renaissance itself, the age of baroque, and on through rococo to neoclassicism. In the visual arts, the end of the High Renaissance is marked by a movement in the late 1400s known as Mannerism, a tendency to deliberate elongation of the body, and a wilful distortion of perspective. In the arts, historians regard the years 1490–1520 (the ‘High Renaissance’) as a peak, with the work of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael Sanzio, and Michelangelo Buonarotti in painting, and Michelangelo and Donato Bramante in architecture being of great importance. encyclopedia.farlex.com /Renaissance   (3029 words)

Medieval Era The various names for the period between A.D. 500 and 1500--the Dark Ages, the Middle Ages, and the Medieval Era--all reflect its position between the cultural achievements of the Roman Empire, which fell in A.D. 476, and the flourishing of art and science in the Renaissance, which began around the 1400s. In addition to Gothic architecture and influential philosophy, this period produced a number of literary masterpieces, including the epic poems Beowulf and Song of Roland, highly unrealistic romances such as those about King Arthur and his knights, and short, often humorous works by writers such as Geoffrey Chaucer. While the accomplishments of this period may not match those of adjacent eras, they nevertheless are significant. uncp.edu /home/canada/work/markport/lit/introlit/fall2000/medieval.htm   (284 words)

Renaissance Music In the early musical Renaissance (1400s), there was one dominant style, that of the Flemish (in what is now known as the Netherlands and Belgiuim) and French composers, but by about 1550, other national styles became distinct again, starting with Italy. Renaissance musicians played organ, harpsichord, sackbut (an early trombone), cornetto (a small, slightly curved trumpet without a bell), recorder, flute, shawm (an early oboe), krummhorn (a quiet, kazoo-like double-reed instrument shaped like a J), dulcian (an early one-piece bassoon), harp, viol (an early violin-like instrument with frets), and a variety of drums, bells, and cymbals. Musical styles moved from medieval to Renaissance late, beginning around 1450 and lasting until 1600, when the baroque music era started. www.sbgmusic.com /html/teacher/reference/historical/renaiss.html   (1608 words)

Re: Fortifications of ancient Gondor was: Linguistic derivation of Mundburg I would speculate that after the first disaster to hit Gondor (the Kinstrife in the 1400s T.A.) the large-scale engineering of old was no longer possible, and there was little chance of recovery, as the Plague and then renewed invasion from the East (the Wainriders) occupied the nation.
