Donatello

Born in 1386 in the city of Florence, Italy, he was an

Italian artist and sculptor of the early Renaissance, he
also became an innovative force in the field of
monumental sculpture and in the treatment of reliefs,
where he managed to represent a great depth within a
minimum plane, denominating itself with the name of
stiacciato, that is to say "flattened or flattened relief"
and One of Donatello's earliest works was a sculpture
representing David, made in marble around the year
1409, passed away on December 13, 1466

Louis blanc
He was born in 1811 on October 29 in the city of
Madrid, Spain and died on December 6, 1882, he was
a French socialist politician and historian and a
Freemason. He is considered one of the precursors of
social democracy

Perugino
He was born in 1446 in Città della Pieve, Umbria. One
of the masters of the Quattrocento, he trained in
Florence, in the workshop of the sculptor and painter
Andrea del Verrocchio, where he once met Botticelli.
His first works are little known, highlighting from this
time a fresco, dated 1478, representing Saint
Sebastian, located in the church of Castel Cerqueto.
The fame of the painter reached such an extreme that
in 1481, he was commissioned to make a series of
frescoes for the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican, among
which is Christ giving the keys to Saint Peter. In 1486
he settled in Florence, the city where he lived until
1499, although he frequently traveled to Perugia, and
to Rome. In 1493 he painted The Virgin with saints
and angels (Louvre Museum, Paris), and in 1495, La
Pietà (Pitti Palace, Florence). Raphael's entry into his
workshop around 1496 gave Perugino an incentive to
work more intensely. Between 1499 and 1500 he
decorated the audience hall of the College of Change
in Perugia with huge frescoes of allegorical and sacred
themes. Also worth noting is an altarpiece painted
between 1512 and 1517 for the church of San Agustín
de Perugia. Other important works are: The Betrothal
of the Virgin, The Virgin between Saint Jerome and
Saint Francis (1507, National Gallery, London) or the
fresco The Adoration of the Shepherds (1523, National
Gallery). His confident style, with large figures
inserted perfectly in the landscape, represents a
preview of what will be painted later in the
Cinquecento.

Masaccio
Italian painter. Masaccio's artistic career is interesting,
first, because of the surprising relationship between
the shortness of his life (he died at the age of twenty-
seven) and the importance, as well as relative
abundance, of his creations, and second, because of his
decisive contribution to the Renaissance, since he was
the first to apply the rules of the scientific perspective.
Masaccio moved to Florence when he was still very
young, and in 1422 he was registered in the painters'
guild of this city. Nothing is known about what he did
until then and with whom he was formed. He was
traditionally linked to Masolino's workshop, but today
it is believed that it was not where he was trained, but
rather that he joined as a collaborator already trained.
His first documented work, the triptych of San Juvenal
(1422), is a creation that fully surpasses the Gothic. In
the later polyptych for the Carmine of Pisa (1426), the
composition based on few essential figures and the
natural expression of light define his characteristic
style, which is fully displayed in his masterpiece: the
cycle of frescoes on the life of Saint Peter and the
Expulsion from Paradise, which he painted for the
Brancacci Chapel of Santa Maria del Carmine, in
Florence, in collaboration with Masolino.

René Descartes
was born in 1596 in La Haye-en-Touraine (Loire), into
a wealthy family of merchants and lawyers. A student
at the prestigious Royal College of La Flèche, ruled by
the Jesuits, Descartes trained in liberal arts (classical
literature and languages, history and rhetoric),
although above all he obtained an education in
scholastic theology and philosophy, disciplines that
also included mathematics and Aristotelian court
physics.
After graduating in law in 1616, and for the next ten
years, young Descartes voluntarily enlisted in various
armies and devoted himself to traveling through
Europe, indulging in the hectic life of the time.
One of the most important issues that have led the
human being to question since he is able to think, is
that of existence; where it comes from, the reasons, its
nature, among others.
Maria Antonieta
(Vienna, 1755 - Paris, 1793) Queen of France.
Daughter of the Emperors of Austria, Francisco I and
Maria Teresa, she married in 1770 with the Dauphin of
France, Luis, who ascended to the throne in 1774 with
the name of Louis XVI. A frivolous and fickle woman,
with expensive tastes and surrounded by an intriguing
clique, she soon gained a reputation for being
reactionary and wasteful. She exerted a strong political
influence on her husband (whom she never loved),
ignored the misery of the people and, with her
licentious behavior, contributed to the discredit of the
monarchy in the years before the French Revolution.
