From Spain in search of a shorter route to Asia though ultimately Landing in the Bahamas Columbus’s voyages marked the beginning of sustained contact between Europe and the Americas while Columbus may not have discovered the new world he undoubtedly was the one who opened the
Door for a whole new way of life for the entire world basically the 95 thesis were a set of propositions written by Martin Luther in 1517 criticizing certain practices within the Catholic Church Luther’s action of posting the thesis on the door of the castle Church in whittenberg Germany is often cited as

Europe Luther’s Defiance of the church’s teachings ultimately led to his excommunication but his ideas inspired the formation of protestantism on a huge scale next up we have Johan Gutenberg which we talked about him on the medieval Iceberg and before we go much further there’s going to be some overlap
With the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance Era as are still debated when the two eras came and went but anyway Johannes Gutenberg born on 1400 in Mains Germany was a key figure in the development of the printing press during the 15th century his invention of movable type printing revolutionized the

Iceberg is typically thought by many to be a good marker for the end of the Middle Ages and the start of the Renaissance though of course there are Arguments for and against this but anyway the fall of Constantinople occurred in 1453 when the city of Constantinople the capital of the

Devil this expression may be used to describe something ridiculous nonsensical or far-fetched and it’s often employed in a light-hearted or humorous context kajia was a serial killer is a speculative theory that lacks conclusive evidence from what I could find kagio the renowned Italian broke painter lived in the late 16th and

Serial killer that I could find instead the sensationalized notion of kagio as a serial killer is often based on conjecture and a sensationalized interpretation of historical anecdotes other than that I could not find much evidence on this Theory at all next up we have Ogar Arin and before starting

Know next up we have Rome almost went bankrupt during the razon Rome faced significant financial challenges but it did not almost go bankrupt in the modern sense of bankruptcy the city’s finances were often strained due to factors such as costly building projects military campaigns and the patronage of the Arts
By the papacy and wealthy families and popes such as Leo I 10th incurred substantial debts to fund their Lifestyles and Artistic Endeavors leading to financial difficulties for the papal treasury however Rome’s financial troubles were typically managed through measures such as increasing taxes borrowing money Etc rather than facing bankruptcy despite
These challenges Rome remained a center of wealth power and culture during the Renaissance and other other than that all the bankruptcy Theory claims are about ancient Rome and mostly their Early Republic the hne Falco thesis formulated by artist David Hackney and physicist Charles M Falco in the early 2000s proposes that optical devices
Particularly the camera obscura which is basically a box where images with the use of light are projected onto surfaces were utilized by Renaissance artists to achieve remarkable realism and perspective in their paintings the thesis suggest that artists such as Da Vinci John Van Ike and more may have
Employed these ticles aids to project images under their canvases allowing them to trace outlines and capture intricate details with unparalleled Precision according to Hackney and Falco the use of optical instruments could explain the extraordinary lifelike quality observed in certain Renaissance artworks some question the validity of
The hocky fal thesis and argue that it oversimplifies the complexities of artistic creation others have embraced it as a groundwork theory that sheds new light on the methods employed by Renaissance artists though it is possible to create life like pictures or paintings without such tools and people
Of the era more than capable of doing that still it is an interesting Theory nonetheless and Camera Obscura is a cool object to look into otherwise for our very last entry on this entire Iceberg we have Pope Leo I 10th made elaborate plans for a crusade the medich pope who
Reigned from 1513 to 1521 was fervently dedicated to the idea of launching a crusade during his papacy believing it to be a pivotal opportunity to reclaim Jerusalem and other holy sites for Muslim control Leo the 10th meticulously orchestrated elaborate plans for his ambitious military campaign his vision for the Crusade extended being beond
Religious fervor he saw it as a means to assert papal Authority and unite European Christian kingdoms against the ottoman Empire’s expansion in the Eastern Mediterranean as well Leo the 10th engaged in extensive diplomatic efforts to Garner support from European rulers and forged alliances with influential leaders such as Emperor
Maximillian the 1 and King Francis the first of France despite his strategic maneuvering and fervent appeals Leo the 10th faced significant challenges in realizing his Crusade Ambitions Financial constraints political rivalries and the outbreak of conflicts in Europe thwarted his plans ultimately leaving his Crusade aspirations unfulfilled nevertheless Leo the 10’s
Relentless pursuit of a crusade underscored his commitment to the papal Mission and his aspirations for United Christian front against threats in the East all right everyone that about does it for this Iceberg um I truly appreciate all the support I’ve gotten recently and if you stuck around to the

46:00 I think "portrait of a young man" is likely referring to the painting of the same name by Botticelli, which supposedly was quite influential as previous to this many portraits were painted in profile (side-on) or in a sort of quarter-turn, but his is a fully frontal portrait which is more commonly what we associated with portraits today. There are some videos on youtube which explain the particulars but that's the overview!
Pietà = pea-eh-tah
Genoa = Jen-oh-ah

In the school of Athens I wish you mentioned Averroes, Muslim polymath and jurist from Andalusia who was known in the west for his many commentaries on Aristotle, pictured in the painting.
