Mathew Brady

Mathew B. Brady was from New York. was one of the most important photograpgers all over the wordl. he was the only one that take picture in the civil war and Lincolns favorite photographs. Nobody in history of photograph take more photograps of this historical events as Mathew Brady does, he was a star in the 19th century. he also was the first to undertake the first documentation of the civil war. after he was just killed at bull run war, he get lost for three days and the wound up in new york, were he was found dead because of starvation. "My greatest aim has been to advance the art of photography and to make it what I think I have, a great and truthful medium of history."- Mathew B. Brady. 

In this picture we can appreciate, this soldier who was killed. Brady decide to take this picture, i believed because of his pain and the tragic sense of seeing this man killed on the soil is really discussing because this was human being. over 13,000 soldiers were killed in this war. 100 soldiers per day and more likely were because of starving, or some kind of sickness. Medical help was unable because medicine was poor and antibiotics were not helping the soldiers.

In fact, this tragical event, bring us memories about this war in which many mens were killed. People remember this day because we are more likely unaccepted in this society. Mathew Brady was the backbone of this whole happenings that make us be interested in this different type of society. We can understand this whole thing. lately, history became borinng, but after knowing this type of things we can assume that history is not boring, we all just need to learn how to understand it.

Important people from the renaissance

In this era there were a lot of painters, writers, scientist and religious people. Renaissance arts was distinguishing because it development of highly realistic linear perspective. Giotto Di bondone was the first treating a painting as a window into space, Filippo Brunelleschi and his architecture demonstrated that, Leon Battista Alberti formalized as an artistic technique. Other painters development many other techniques we have a big example that is Leonardo Da Vinci, was one of the most genius man and bring a lot of changes for the Renaissance era, for me it was the most important character of that era. Talking about science in this era, Leonardo da Vinci was another big exponent for this, was a scientific revolutionary. Capra classify him as, father of modern science, not only him was a big exponent in science also Copernicus, Galileo, newton and Rene Descartes.

The new scientific method led to great contributions in the fields of astronomy, physics, biology, and anatomy. this means that renaissance not only brigs advances in arts but in also in science and there were many changes in the fields of each contributions, Leonardo da Vinci, keeps being the maximal exponent of this era he was a man that knew each type of studies and brings changes but also more things to study. A new idea come among in this era and was religion, development against a Christian backdrop, especially in the northern renaissance. a big dedication for church take place in this era. In times of religious turmoil, middle ages saw a period of political intrigues surrounding the papacy, claimed start having power through the pope of that time. The pope of that time was accused of simony, for renaissance that mark was not good because it seems that not all was correctly good and still problems affected that era.

The Characteristics of Renaissance

The word Renaissance means ''re born.'' its a cultural movement that spread roughly the 14th to the 17th century, began in Florence in latest middle ages and later spread to the rest of Europe. The word Renaissance also referred to the word era, this term was uninformed in Europe this term was general used to the term widespread reform. this cultural movement, was based on learning of classic sources, development of linear painting and modern era. Renaissance show evolution in intellectual pursuit, as well in social and political upheaval, best know for its artistic development and the contribution of such polymaths as leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who inspired the term ''renaissance man''. The Renaissance has a long and complex historiography, and there has been much debate among historians, many of them use the term as the historical delineation. Some historians believe that the renaissance was just the advance of the period of pessimism and nostalgia for the classical age, while the other ones just focused on continuity between the two eras.

Renaissance has also been used to describe other two historical and cultural movement, the first one was called Carolingian Renaissance and the Renaissance of the 12th century. Both movements were very important for the Renaissance because was a big advanced for the cultural and historical movement that over comes. Renaissance was an advanced for historical and cultural in many ways because literature, philosophy and many other types of advanced comes in that era. Renaissance was an era of many things new, for that is called renaissance which once said before it means, rebirth. Many perspective were used in that era, also new characters comes among, it was an era that you can show your feelings and expressed your ideas in many ways, for me the most important character in that era was, Leonardo da Vinci, he was a polymath: painter, sculptor, architecture, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer. He was consider one of the greatest painters of all the times and a genius also best know as the renaissance man.
