Perspective

During historical periods, advancements in fields like mathematics, navigation, optics, architecture, and art significantly influenced society. The use of perspective in architecture led to the construction of notable structures such as chapels.

Perspective

Art

Developed a new form of perspective
The people looked at Jesus above everyone else. Example: In the chapels he was painted on the ceilings so people could look up to him
Made a lot of works depicting Jesus

Byzantine and Constantinople

They were under serious threat from the ottoman empire
Tried sending people to Italy to get help

They all failed to do so, and decided to start new careers in Italy such as translating

Ottoman Empire took over

The return of Greek antiquities

The Greeks developed a new style of building called columns
Optics
Everyone thought light shot from our eyes

Everyone got more educated and learned how optics worked

Travelling West enough to go East

Navigation was not advanced enough to cross the ocean
Concluding that the world is round
Trade route to India was discovered

Resulted in Columbus discovering the Americas

Mathematics

Architecture
Used to build structures that gave them a different perspective on things. Example: chapels
Navigation
Used the position of the north star to calculate coordinates

Lack of knowledge when navigating resulted in them getting lost a lot.

Couldn't cross the equator without getting lost
