The Black Plague 's Entrance Into Western Europe

The two main characters in the painting display elegant mannered poses and all the figures appear arranged in rather unnatural poses. There is a small scene at the foot of the Saint Catherine and Christ figures. This is thought to be the Christ child with the Virgin Mary and grandmother, Saint Anne. Below these two scenes are three smaller bordered scenes. The central one depicts two enemies reconciled by an archangel and the outer ones show Saints Michael and Margaret fighting demons. All these images show the triumph of good over evil, with the middle characters shedding their weapons and embracing. All these small pictures support that the painting was commissioned by Arigoi di Nero Arighetti to celebrate the end of a feud.

The Black Death of the mid-fourteenth century will have the greatest impact on the 16th and 17th centuries. The plague caused the European population the drop by 25 to 50 percent, induced movements and many revolts, and prompted changes in urban life. The European population dropped by 25 to 50 percent between 1347 and 1351. So, if the European population was 75 million, this would mean the 18.75 to 37.5 million people died in four years. There were also major outbreaks that lasted many years until the end of the 15th century. Mortality figures were incredibly high. As a result, the European population did not begin to recover until the 16th century. It took many generations after that to achieve thirteenth-century levels. The plague induced

The Black Death, also known as the bubonic plague, was a disease that devastated Medieval Europe, between 1346 and 1352 it killed 45 million people, wiping out a third of Europe's population. Today, we know that there were many causes of the Black Death. Medieval towns had no system of drains, sewers or trash collections. In such slovenly conditions, germs could grow, and diseased rats could call these medieval towns their homes and infect the people who lived there. Many historians believed the plague originated in china and spread to other countries by trade routes. Infected people and/or infected rodents such as mice or black rats. The Black Death was caused by strains of the bubonic plague. The plague lived in fleas, and fleas lived on

Analyze the influence of the Black Plague on the economic activity in Europe from 1350-1400.

The Black Plague, which was in Europe in 1346-1353 it killed many people. That the Black Plague spread all through Europe, it was made by rats that spread the disease. That the Black Plague killed 2/3 of Europe’s population and people were just dying instantly it started to spread very fast. That they did not find a cure until 1353, but still there were more people that died than lived. So the Black Plague was a disease the killed people very fast and it started in 1346 and ended in 1353, that it killed 2/3 of Europe.

Ring-around the Rosie, A pocket full of posies, Ashes! Ashes! We all fall down. Is a sad remembrance of a terrible event as expressed to a happy children's nursery rhyme. “Ring around the Rosie,” describes the swelling in the lymph node. This swelling is circular making up the “ring” the center turns black and is surrounded by a red rash. The “Rosie” is the center of this reddish ring. The living began rotting before dying, healthy individuals used flowers to cover the odor. The poem shows attempts to get rid of the smell in the second verse, “a pocket full of posies” The posies represent fourteenth century air fresheners. “Ashes! Ashes!” Some may believe that the ashes represent cremation, the last line in the poem expresses death “we all fall down” no one survives the plague (1). The Black Death ravaged through Europe killing millions but its effect on France was most noticeable.

The black death affected Europe because it killed over a third of its population. In all, the black death killed twenty million people in Europe. People fled their homes, families, and friends because they did not want to get infected with the plague. The Plague reduced the population of the world from 450 million to 375 million. Seven thousand people died per day in Cairo. Three Fourths of Florence’s residents were buried in makeshift graveyards. The disease even spread to the isolated outposts Greenland and Iceland. However, the Black Death set the scene for modern medicine. Growing increasingly frustrated about diagnoses with the Black Plague, educators began to place a greater emphasis on medicine.

Diseases have always been a threat to humans, all throughout history. One of the most destructive disease outbreaks in history was the plague outbreak which peaked in 1346 to 1353, in Europe, commonly known as the Black Death. This plague outbreak was extremely deadly and killed 30-60% of the European population at the time of the outbreak. The outbreak is commonly believed to have been caused by the bubonic plague, but modern evidence suggests that the Black Death was caused by pneumonic plague, a much more contagious and deadly infection.

The Black Death, the plague that ravished Europe has been a topic that has fascinated Historians for centuries. This terrible epidemic wiped out nearly a third of Europe’s entire population in just a matter of three short years. The after effects are astounding as this had affected almost every part of life during this time, from agriculture to the economy, and the opinions of death. In this paper the effect that the plague will be examined and analyzed starting with the impact on the Agriculture, an investigation on the way art had changed and how the dead was handled. In this we will examine the impact and level of destruction the bubonic plague had on as life, such as agriculture, population, and attitudes surrounding death and body disposal.

In the middle age to the early renaissance period, the Dance of Death was a popular theme for artists to illustrate (Mackenbach). It was near a time when war, famine, and a deadly epidemic started killing a large population in Europe. Death became a popular subject. The illustration will consist of various themes that include skeletons in their Danse Macabre. One artist name Hans Holbein the Young who was a painter and a printmaker who design many sets of woodcut of the Danse Macabre. In one of his painting called The French Ambassador, “In this double portrait, Holbein depicted two humanists with a collection of objects reflective of their worldliness and learning, but he also included an anamorphic skull, a reminder of death.” (Kleiner 276) This shows that like many artists including Holbein, death was a motif to their artwork.

In the year 1348 the world changed forever. The Black Death, which is another name for the Bubonic Plague, laid havoc on the entire world. “The plague chases the screaming without pity and does not accept a treasure for a ransom. Its engine is far-reaching. The plague enters into the house and swears it will not leave except with all of its inhabitants…” (Al-Wardi, #29, 113). The plague did not care if the people were rich, poor, white, black, Muslim or Catholic, it would kill whomever it could. The plague brought out the worst in people because people acted selfishly, people were completely inhumane, and there was no peace.

The Crucifixion of Christ is a one of the most frequented religious themes seen during Gothic Italian panel paintings of the 13th and 14th century. Throughout the Strauss Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston the panel paintings often have a series of narratives alongside portraits that the viewer is able to read through the composition of the panels. One narrative that is of high importance is of The Crucifixion. Because it is so important, this scene is often arbitrarily placed in panels just to emphasize the engagement of the viewer to the importance of religion and the church. The setting of the The Crucifixion is quite the same in most if not all crucifixion paintings, with the placement of a triangular dialogue beginning with the Virgin, Christ, Saint John, and Saint Mary Magdalene. Another common characteristic in crucifixion scenes is the emotional representation of the figures pictured. Although there is an established display of facial expressions in Italian Gothic art, there seems to be more of an emotional connection in this particular type of narrative than other common religious themes. Looking at The Crucifixion scene of the Anon. Florentine Panel its counterpart, The Nativity scene does not pose the same emotional engagement in both the viewers and the characters displayed.

This is illustrating that the tables are turned on the man who has committed some terrible crime. In the Inferno this is represented by Lucifer eating the three worst sinners, Judas Iscariot, Brutus, and Cassius, all who betrayed their
