Once upon a time there 

was a small town in Italy, 

where a girl lived in a 

small neighborhood with 

her parents. She showed 

great creativity in 

everything that she did. 

Elizabeth loved to read "The 

Divine Comedy" by Dante and 

anything that had to do with 

nature. She spent most of 

her time in her room painting. 

She loved art and the 

techniques. Devoted young 

lady. 

She had amazing 

abilities. But her 

parents wanted her to 

pursue different 

dreams like to take 

over the parents 

business and keep it 

growing. 

That following year 

she made a drastic 

decision.

Elizabeth decides to go to 

Paris and find her career and 

future in the area of painting. 

Her dream is to become a 

famous artist and seek 

knowledge from the greatest 

painters like Giotto, Leonardo 

Da Vinci, Michelangelo, 

Brunelleschi and many others. 

She thought that being in 

Paris and visiting the art 

museums would somehow get 

her closer to her dream. 

When Elizabeth saw 

the entrance, she 

couldn't believe it! She 

was here and she was 

so excited. When she 

read there was all 

kinds of renaissance 

paintings she was 

amazed. She thought, 

"Wow. I hope most 

people know that 

renaissance is a 

rebirth about an idea 

of man, not the 

rebirth of man" And 

how does she know 

this, Oh because of all 

the reading she has 

done, of course.

There is all kinds of amazing paintings 

from the artists Elizabeth wished all her 

life to see. Many different paintings. 

Some of them show the renaissance 

period from a christian perspective and 

others show it by putting man at the 

center of all things. 

Elizabeth went to visit 

"The David" which was a 

great experience. She 

saw how much talent 

Michelangelo had and 

how high he thought 

about man. That man is 

an independent and 

autonomous creature and 

we are the most 

intelligent. Michelangelo 

knew about God but he 

stuck to his own 

worldview. He was an 

engineer, painter and 

sculptor. 

Elizabeth also runs into these 

paintings of Masaccio Masolino. They 

show how in this time period every 

painter based their painting on their 

worldview. They showed what they 

believed to be true. There is all kinds 

of paintings because there was many 

different worldviews going on at the 

same time.
