Shakespeare: Who was he?

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geev441vbMI

• The northern European tradition of Gothic Art was greatly affected by the technical and philosophical advancements of the Renaissance in Italy. – Gothic Art is the style of art

produced in Northern Europe from the middle ages up until the beginning of the Renaissance.

– Typically rooted in religious devotion, it is especially known for the distinctive arched design of its churches, its stained glass, and its illuminated manuscripts.

• Northern Renaissance artists were less concerned with studies of anatomy and linear perspective.– They were masters of technique, and their works are

marvels of exquisite detail.

• As Italy moved into the High Renaissance, the north retained a distinct Gothic influence.

• Yet masters like Albrecht Dürer, Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel and Hans Holbein were the equal of the greatest artists of the south.

• In the 16th century, as in the south, the Northern Renaissance eventually gave way to highly stylized Mannerist art.– Mannerist art: theatrical and overly stylized work.– Mannerist Art is characterized by a complex

composition, with muscular and elongated figures in complex poses.

Mannerist Art:

Sir Thomas More 1478 –1535• known to Roman Catholics as Saint Thomas

More• More also wrote Utopia, published in 1516,

about the political system of an ideal and imaginary island nation.– A fictional story of a “perfect society” that is

ultimately unreachable• More opposed the Protestant Reformation– An attempt to reform the Catholic Church that

lead to the creation of new national Protestant churches.

William Shakespeare 1564 -1616)

Activity: King Henry VIII PPT and video assignment




King Henry VIII• The Protestant Reformation began

with criticism of the Catholic Church by priests and other religious thinkers.

• In England, the Reformation began with the king.

• Henry VIII became king of England in 1509 at the age of 17.

• As a young king, he was a devout Catholic who wrote angry protests against the "venomous" ideas of Luther.

• Henry's actions won him the title "Defender of the Faith".

King Henry VIII• By 1525, Henry's wife, Catherine of

Aragon, had borne only one child, a girl named Mary. – Henry wanted a male heir. – It was thought that a female monarch

could weaken England politically, and he believed that Catherine would produce no male heir.

• Henry decided to have the marriage annulled, or declared invalid based on church laws, so that he could marry again.

The King’s Great Matter

• The pope offered Henry several solutions to his problem but would not agree to the annulment because Catherine and her nephew, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, opposed to it. – The dilemma became known as the "king's great

matter". • While Henry argued with the pope over his

annulment, he fell in love with Anne Boleyn. – Henry soon took matters into his own hands.

Pope Leo X

• Pope Leo X, born Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, was Pope from 9 March 1513 to his death in 1521.

• The second son of Lorenzo the Magnificent

Henry becomes head of the Church• Henry summoned Parliament, known as

the Reformation Parliament, and declared that England no longer considered itself under the authority of the Pope.

• Instead, Henry himself became the head of the Church of England.

• He changed the rituals of the church very little, but Henry closed Catholic monasteries and convents and distributed much of the land to nobles.

• This helped build more public support for the split from the church.

The Act of Supremacy• In 1533, Anne Boleyn and Henry

VIII were secretly married. • Later that year, after Parliament

had declared Henry's marriage to Catherine null and void, Anne gave birth to a girl, Elizabeth.

• The next year, Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy, which required subjects to take an oath declaring Henry VIII to be "Supreme Head of the Church of England". – The break with Rome was complete.

ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:1. What led to Henry VIII's break with the

Catholic Church?

2. Based on the response to Henry VIII's break with Rome, what was likely to be the future relationship between the church and England? Explain your answer

3. Do you believe Henry was in the right? Why/Why not?
