 * This image is of a page from the Biblia Latina, printed from Johann Gutenberg's printing press. The bible was printed in the vernacular, or everyday language of the people. With more legible bibles, Europe became a more literate area. This allowed people to interpret the Bible the way they saw it, not just the way that the Church taught it. Bible's printed by Gutenberg had a huge impact on Europe's religion. || This sculpture is a bronze crucifix of Jesus Christ. Created by Donatello around 1444-1447, this artwork stood as a reminder of the events of Christ's death. The realistic features and anatomical accuracy of the sculpture is similar to many other pieces of art during this era. Artists were aiming for realism and tried very hard to perfect the human body in their art. Donatello most likely spent a lot of time studying the human body before creating this sculpture, in hope to make it as realistic as possible. ||
