La Primavera by Botticelli


   This painting made by Sandro Botticelli during the Renaissance in 1482, the painting is a oil on wood, the name of this painting is La Primavera. The paniting is showing during the Renaissance the people was more secularism because Botticelli put on is painting Venus, she was a Roman goddess principally associated with love, beauty and fertility and each personnage on the painting are metoligic people like Zephyr the god of wind blow on the face of Flore the empresse of te flower, Cupid the son of Venus who is going to shot one of the tree dancing girl and we can see the God, Mercure and the posture of Venus is reminiscent of Roman statues and rows of trees enhance this position.If the painting still alive it's because people improve tolerance to the old culture of the Romain empire.

Driving Forces of the Renaissance

I choose this image to show the rivality of the city-state in the renaissance
because I'm a huge fan of ice hockey and this two team come from my city, the team of Quebec in
(in blue and white) an the Montreal team (in blue,white and red)and each time they play versus each other that was the best match of the year for french canadien people because this two team want to be the best team of Quebec.
I choose the rivality of the city-state like the most important driving force because, the rivality between the city-state put each of them to be the best in banking the best in trade the best in war, all the driving force so I think if the rivality was not there the man of each city-state will not perform at is 100% and try to know all the knowledge of the old empire
