Brunegel painting by Pieter the Elder. If in ancient times, the man was the center of study and assessment, in the "Middle Ages" everything will revolve around the immaterial, of religion and God. Relegating the man and his material needs, desires, and thoughts through second grade.
The best example I can bring, is the representation they had, the gods and God in these two periods of history.
If by Greek or Roman gods were ultimately represented in the image and likeness of man, his passions, desire, physical fitness, but also of his happiness, joy and feasting. For medieval man, is he who is to represent the image and likeness of God but a God very different from those who knew the men of antiquity.
This point is substantial and essential when understanding differences in the way of life in these two stages.
will be thanks to these fundamental differences, the renaissance man (Man that new value to the individual, as a center of study, discussion and historical assessment) appoint to this period of history, "Middle Ages, considering a dark period, a decline of humanity among the old and the new revival of humanities from the XVI century. According to the vision
Renaissance man of the Middle Ages there remained immersed in a cultural and intellectual obscurantism relegated him to a miserable condition and devolution because his whole life was dedicated to not make any mistakes against God and his laws and not lose one of the few places in paradise after death. That is, the medieval man lived his life after death, thought the 24 hours a day on it. Its proximity overwhelmed him, forcing him to think about every attitude, action or thought I had, if one was going against what God imposed as a way of life. everyone on earth was relegated after the spiritual world, but from an apocalyptic vision, denial and grief.
Only those who suffered and endured in the underworld, the sky would win and the more we get close to these parameters, we would be closer to the prize.
