42、语篇理解Module 2 The Renaissance文艺复兴对于很多人来说，文艺复兴指的是 1416 世纪时期的意大利，及其当时在艺术、建筑、音乐以及文学领域的发展。但有一件作品可能比其他的任何作品都更能表达文艺复兴的精神蒙娜丽莎。它被认为是一种新的形象逼真型绘画风格的最好代表，这种绘画风格一经使用就使人们惊叹不已。蒙娜丽莎由莱奥纳多达芬奇于 1503 到 1506 年间绘制而成，是一件神秘的杰作。人们想知道蒙娜丽莎是谁，她又为什么在笑。即便是对文艺复兴了解不多的人，他们也都听说过这幅作品。栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 2 The Renaissan
43、ce但是，文艺复兴当然不仅仅只是蒙娜丽莎。“Renaissance”是一个法语单词，意为“再生”，于 19 世纪首次出现在英语中。这个词被用来描绘随着首批欧洲人抵达美洲而开始的那段欧洲历史，这是一段探险的历史，也是现代世界史的开端。仿佛欧洲在经历了中世纪的沉眠之后，就要苏醒过来了。从意大利开始，文艺复兴的观念很快向北传遍了法国、德国、英国以及欧洲其他地方。栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 2 The Renaissance与世界其他地方的贸易意味着欧洲也正在变得更加富裕。也就是说人们有钱来花费在艺术上，对于艺术家来说想要找到人来购买他们的作品或者雇用他们也就
44、更加容易。莱奥纳多为一些重要的人物工作过，比如米兰的公爵，在晚年他曾经为法国国王工作过。文艺复兴的艺术家从古希腊以及古罗马文献中来寻找他们作品的新点子。但是他们也通过开辟新的艺术领域来展望未来。画家们发现了怎样来利用透视以及光的作用；作曲家们将不同的声音合到一起创造了复调音乐；相比较于中世纪哥特式教堂的沉重来说，建筑师们则更喜欢设计更加光亮的建筑。栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 2 The Renaissance这种激励艺术家的探索意识与一种新型的人生哲学携手共进。几个世纪以来，哲学家们都接受中世纪的世界观，认为与上帝的伟大相比人的生命的价值很渺小，现在他
45、们开始提出诸如“人为何物？”以及“我为何存在？”这样的问题。有史以来第一次，他们将人而不是宗教放在了宇宙的中心。栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 2 The Renaissance文艺复兴也是一个科学发明层出不穷的时代。作为举世公认的最伟大的画家之一，莱奥纳多同时也是一个熟练的发明家。不管走到哪里，他都随身携带一个笔记本，以便随时记录下自己的想法。它们(这些想法)包括细致的人体素描、供工程师建造运河和桥梁的设计以及一些令人震惊的机械制图，这些直到几百年后才被制造出来，例如飞机、降落伞、潜艇和坦克。在生命晚年，他受法国国王委托去做一些科学研究，所以很少有时间从事绘画创作。栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 2 The Renaissance简言之，莱奥纳多是一个非凡的天才，一个被描绘成“文艺复兴人物”的典范：一个对凡事皆有兴趣并有诸多才能的人。但即使他对历史的贡献仅仅是一幅蒙娜丽莎，这也已经足够成为恒久的天才作品。栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 2 The Renaissance栏目导引教材助读解疑清障知能演练轻松闯关自学导引语篇理解Module 2 The Renaissance按ESC键退出全屏播放本部分内容讲解结束
