    Enlightenment

    What is the Enlightenment?


    It is an intellectual and cultural movement that took place in the 18th century.
    People started trying to understand the world through science and reason.
    The main ideas were centred on the value of human happiness, the pursuit of
    knowledge obtained using reason and evidence of the senses, and ideals such as
    natural law, liberty, progress, toleration, fraternity, constitutional government, and
    separation of church and state.
    What was the scientific revolution?
    It was a movement that completely changed the way of thinking. This movement
    transformed the way of new knowledge in observing, experimenting, and using the
    sense of reason. This movement started in the 16th century in the year 1543, when
    Nicolaus Copernicus published one document that started a revolution. People started
    to question what the church said and in response to that many authors were killed
    because the church refused to lose all their power and influence. Thanks to this period
    many of the classical subjects were perfectioned and formalised.
    Laura Bassi
    I was born in October the 29th of 1711 in Bolonia.
    I was prodigious girl, with 5 five years old I started to receive classes of Latin, French
    and Maths. My intellectual capacities were soon recognized by the society and people
    went to visit me to see my intelligence. In 1732 many things occurred, the 20 th of
    March I was named member of the science academy of Bolonia, in April I took part of a
    public debate about philosophy, I impressed many important figures and the Cardenal
    Próspero Lambertini became my mentor. On May 17th the university of Bolonia granted
    me an honorary doctorate, a public act was celebrated, I received a laurel gold crown,
    and a poem was written in my honor. In June I wanted to obtain a position as a teacher
    in the university of Bolonia, so I did an exam with success, and I became a physics
    teacher. I was the first women to obtain a job in a university. In October I did my first
    conference, and many important people came to see me. The conference was called
    ‘De corpore aqua narurali Elemento aliorum corporum parte universi’.
    During my career I published more than 30 works and most of them were about
    Newtonian and Cartesian physics. I was one of the first people to explain Newtonian
    physics in Italy.
    I died on February 20th of 1778 in Bolonia.
    The main theorist
    • Hi, I am John Locke (1632-1704) I was one of the most important members of
    the Enlightenment philosophers. In my book "Two Treatises on Government," I
    said that we all have natural rights to life, liberty, and property and that
    governments should be there to protect those rights. My ideas were part of the
    basis of what we call modern liberalism today. I had a lot of influence at that
    time.
    • I was born in 1632 in Wrington, England, into an educated family. I received a
    classical education and studied medicine at Oxford. I became interested in
    medicine and associated with notable figures of the Scientific Revolution. My
    childhood was also marked by the environment of religious and political unrest
    in England.
    • In my book "Two Treatises of Government" is a work consisting of two treatises.
    In the first, I refute the theory of the divine right of kings and argues that
    legitimate government derives from the consent of the governed. In the second
    treatise, I develop my theory of the social contract, defending the natural
    equality of human beings, individual rights and the limitation of governmental
    power.

    Rococo
    It was, in French art and design, the reaction to the seriousness and magnificent style of the
    Baroque. This style was characterized by elaborate detail, natural mobile, curving shapes, and
    pastel colors. It started in 1730 in France.

    François Boucher
    I was born on the 29th of September of 1703. My parents were Elisabeth Lemesle and Nicolas
    Boucher. I became the apprentice of several painters before I won the Premio de Roma on
    1723, but I had to wait 4 years to claim it because of the lack of places left. When I finally went
    in the trip to Italy, he was encouraged to paint landscapes how they were naturally. ‘When I
    came back to France I was admitted in the Real Academia de Pintura y escultura in which I
    became principal. The support of the Marquise of Pompadour was essential for my success. I
    was named the First Painter of the King. One of my most famous pieces is called El Almuerzo in
    which I try to represent the relationship between the parents and their offspring. In my time kids
    were seen as little adults whose little intelligence had to be treated since their birth. I died the
    30th of May of 1770, with 66 years.

    Neoclassicism

    It was an artistic manifestation of aesthetic and cultural ideas based on the art on Greece and
    Rome in antiquity which summons harmony, clarity, restraint, universality, and idealism. It
    started in Rome in 1760s.

    Claude Lorrain

    I was born in Chamage, France. My parents were Jean Gellée and Anne Pedrose, and I had
    6 siblings. I spent some time with my older brother who taught me about painting. I went to
    Rome were I worked in a bakery, for an important painter, whose then I became student. I
    went back to my hometown, and I collaborated as a student of Claude Deruet who was the
    painter of the ducal court. I went back to Rome were I stayed for the rest of my days. I
    started gaining importance as a painter in 1730. My specialty was painting landscapes.
    One of my most important pieces was The imaginary view of Tivoli in which I tried to
    express the best view of how the city would be if there were a perfect world.
