The document summarizes aspects of life during the Renaissance period in Europe. It describes how the Black Plague devastated the population in the 1300s and weakened the authority of the Catholic Church. Art from this period featured unrealistic human figures with an emphasis on religious subjects as a response to the plague and turmoil. Notable Renaissance artists like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and others emerged and pioneered new styles that reflected a renewed interest in classical antiquity.

3. IDEA
Man is conceived of blood made
rotten by the heat of lust; and in
the end worms, like mourners,
stand about his corpse.
In life he produced lice and
tapeworms; in death he will
produce worms and flies. In life
he produced dung and vomit; in
death he produces rottenness
and stench.
In life he fattened one man; in
death he fattens a multitude of
worms.
Pope Innocent III, On
the Misery of the Human
Condition, c. 1200

The Last Judgement by Michelangelo covers the wall behind the alter in the Sistine Chapel. The work depicts the second coming of Christ and, although the artist is clearly inspired by the Bible, it is his own imaginative vision that prevails in this painting. The picture radiates out from the center figure of Christ, and Michelangelo has chosen to depict the various saints included in the work holding the instruments of their martyrdom rather than the actual scenes of torture.
