peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. Started in Central Asia, it reached the Crimea by

1346 From there, it spread throughout

the Mediterranean and Europe -- probably from black

rats on merchant ships, Estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of Europe's

population World population fell from about 450 million to

between 350 and 375 million in 1400. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover. The plague returned at various times, resulting in a larger

number of deaths, until it left Europe in the 19th century.

24. And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute? 25. He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers? 26. Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. 27. Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.— Matthew 17:24–27

linear perspective

System originated in Florence, Italy in the early 1400s. The artist and architect Brunelleschi demonstrated its

principles but The architect and writer, Leon Battista Alberti was

first to write down its rules An artist must first imagine the picture surface as an

"open window" through which to see the painted world.

Straight lines are then drawn on the canvas to represent the horizon and "visual rays" connecting the viewer's eye to a point in the distance

Page 35: The 14 th Century Cataclysm. Events of the 14 th Century The transition from the Medieval Warm Period to the Little Ice Age Beginning of the Ottoman Empire,

linear perspective

The horizon line runs across the canvas at the eye level of the viewer. The horizon line is where the sky appears to meet the ground.

The vanishing point should be located near the center of the horizon line. The vanishing point is where all parallel lines (orthogonals) that run towards the horizon line appear to come together like train tracks in the distance.

Orthogonal lines are "visual rays" helping the viewer's eye to connect points around the edges of the canvas to the vanishing point. An artist uses them to align the edges of walls and paving stones.

Widely believed to be the first painting, since the fall of Rome (ca. 476 A.D.), to use Scientific Linear One Point Perspective, or, all the orthogonals point to one vanishing point, in this case, Christ. Also, it is one of the first paintings that does away with the use of a head-cluster. If you were to walk into the painting, you could walk around Jesus Christ, in the semicircle created, and back out the painting again with ease.

As the distance between an object and a viewer increases, the contrast between the object and its background decreases.

The colors of the object become less saturated and shift towards the background color.

fresco

Fresco comes from the Italian word affresco which derives from the Latin word for "fresh”

Buon fresco technique consists of painting in pigment mixed with water on a thin layer of wet, fresh plaster

A secco painting is done on dry plaster (secco is "dry" in Italian). The pigments thus require a binding medium, such as egg (tempera), glue or oil to attach the pigment to the wall
