This is a classic Renaissance view of man. The Oration is on Moodle, under AP European History, Unit 1-The Renaissance. It can also be found via Google: type in Oration on the Dignity of Man and click on the site“[bactra.org/Mirandola](bactra.org/Mirandola)”, and read the first 10 paragraphs, ending through the paragraph that begins“But what is the purpose of all this?” Answer the following questions:  \nAccording to Pico,  \n1. Why is man such a wonderful creation of God?  \n2. What has God given man?  \n3. How is man different from all other creatures, even the angels?  \n2) Read Thomas a Kempis’ The Imitation of Christ, Book 1, Chapters 1 and 2; Book 3, Chapters 8, 13, and 15. I like the online version at the Catholic Treasury site. You can get a fantastic hard copy translation by William C. Creasy [the Creasy translation is best!] at Amazon for about $5. The Imitation represents a late medieval view of man. Answer this question: 4. What does a Kempis say should be our posture before God?  \n3) Write a 4 paragraph essay comparing Pico de Mirandola’s Oration on the Dignity of Man with Thomas a Kempis’ Imitation of Christ. First paragraph: how these two books differ; Second paragraph: evidence of Pico’s belief about man; Third paragraph: evidence of Thomas’ belief about man; Fourth paragraph: your opinion about who is right and why.  \n4) Look at these paintings/sculptures/buildings and be able to tell them by sight:  \nAlbrecht Durer’s Self-Portrait (1500, at age 28)  \nLeonardo DaVinci’s The Last Supper, Mona Lisa, Vitruvian Man  \nMichelangelo (Buonarotti)’s Creation of Adam, The Last Judgment, David, Pieta, Moses Raphael, The School of Athens  \nDonatello, David (the bronze one, not the marble)  \nJan Van Eyck, The Arnolfini Wedding  \nSandro Boticelli, The Birth of Venus, Primavera  \nFilippo Brunelleschi, The Florence Cathedral (Il Duomo di Firenze)  \nAndrea Mantegna, Lamentation of Christ  \nHans Holbein, Portrait of Henry VIII  \nPiero della Francesca, Federico de Montefeltro ( Duke of Urbino)  \nThe essay on Oration on the Dignity of Man and on The Imitation of Christ must be turned in the first day of class.  \nAlso, be ready day one for an art history quiz on recognition of the art works above.  \nLooking forward to having you in AP Euro this coming year!
