Oil Painting
Oil Painting represents the Renaissance because many famous Renaissance Artists used oil painting methods for their artwork. An artist named Jan van Eyck is known for reinventing oil painting during Renaissance in 1410. At first many artists used the form tempera for painting but didn't like that their colors didn't cover and pop out. They learned to use oil paint because the versatility of oil paint is a reason the style became so popular. The admixtures in the oils made most of the pigments in the colors translucent letting the artist paint in thin layers or glazes giving their artwork bold colors. Artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael all used oil painting techniques in their paintings.

Invasion of Naples! In our day and age, we see war all the time, for us it is a common thing to hear and see. It is in our backyards and towns. It seems unavoidable. We all have something in common, that is the wearing of the naples italy. This event is affecting us all with many of our european neighbors invading and being defeated over and over again. Also this is important because it is in close proximity to Florence, Italy where the renaissance was create and home to a cultural explosion of art. If this fighting continued to expand, Florence may be in danger. The main contributors to this war are the French, Neapolitan King Ferrando, Monarchs of Spain, but some of the rulers of Genoa and Milan aided in the people care of the city.
There are large consequences to this event, some impacting people for the rest of their lives. Those consequences are that people are becoming frightened by the constant wearing of countries over the same area, and some may leave or never leave their home until everything has begun to calm down. Everyday people can and will be callosities of this war and families may lose loved ones over countries who only want land, not respecting and loving patrons of the leader. This just doesn't affect the people inside the state being constantly attacked but also the people around and away from the state because the leaders who are conducting this battle, may run into bankruptcy because of how costly wars are, other states may become afraid of this happening, closing borders on trade and foreign policy and people may feel helpless because if they intervene, they too may be attacked. People will react in every way thinkable, some turning to religion or family others become saddened and returning to the solemn safety of their homes. People are fearing of attack in the naples because they don’t want to get caught in the crossfire of the war of other countries.
