5、读文艺复兴对于很多人来说，文艺复兴就是指14世纪到16世纪的意大利及当时意大利的艺术、建筑、音乐和文学领域的发展。但有一件作品可能比其他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逼真型绘画的最好代表，这种绘画风格第一次使用就使人们惊叹不已。蒙娜丽莎是莱奥纳多达芬奇于15031506年绘制的，它是一个充满神秘色彩的杰作。人们想知道蒙娜丽莎是谁，她又为什么在笑。即便人们对文艺复兴了解不多，也听说过这幅画。但是，文艺复兴当然不仅仅是蒙娜丽莎。文艺复兴是一个法语词，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
6、，也是世界现代史的开端。好像在经历了中世纪的漫长沉睡之后，欧洲要苏醒了。文艺复兴精神从意大利开始，很快向北传到了法国、德国、英国以及欧洲的其他国家。与世界其他地区的贸易往来也意味着欧洲越来越富裕。这意味着人们有钱来花费在艺术上，对于艺术家来说，要找到能买得起他们的作品或者雇用他们的人也变得更容易。莱奥纳多曾为重要人物工作，如米兰公爵。晚年，他曾为法国国王服务。文艺复兴时期的艺术家们在古希腊和古罗马(文明)中找到了创作他们自己作品的灵感。而他们也通过开辟新的艺术领域来展望未来。画家们发现了怎样利用透视法以及光线的效果，作曲家们将不同的声音合到一起创造了复调音乐，与中世纪哥特式大教堂的凝重相比，建
7、筑师们则更喜欢设计更加光亮的建筑。这种激发艺术家的探索意识与一种新的哲学携手共进。在哲学家们都持有中世纪的世界观，即认为与上帝的伟大相比人的生命价值很渺小，几个世纪之后，他们开始提出诸如“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。文艺复兴时期也是一个科学发明(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位出色的发明家。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。这些想法包括人体的细致素描、供工程师建造运河和桥梁的设计以及一些令人震惊的机器制图，如飞机、降落伞、潜艇和坦克，这些机器在数百年之后才被造出
8、来。达芬奇晚年受雇于法国国王做一些科学研究，他就很少有时间来进行绘画创作。简言之，莱奥纳多是一个非凡的天才，一个被描述成“文艺复兴人”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，这也已经是恒久的天才作品。课文理解Step Fast readingSkim the text and match each paragraph with its main idea.Para. 1ARenaissance artists formed the new ideas for painting, music, and architecture.Para. 2 BLeo
