The Northern Renaissance Begins The Renaissance ideas spread out from Italy to the rest of Europe As Renaissance ideas and Northern culture mixed, a new and unique Renaissance began
Artistic Ideas Spread Many artists fled Italy for other parts of Europe after the French invaded Italy Northern European artists went to schools in Italy, and brought ideas back to their homelands
Northern Writers Reform Christian Humanists Critical of the Church They focused on reforming society Believed in utopia Utopia= a perfect society

Print Spreads All Over Johann Gutenberg developed the printing press A machine which allowed people to mass produce writing quicker and cheaper than ever The first book printed with moveable type was the Bible (A Gutenberg Bible would be priceless today if you could ever find one.)
Scientific Changes Heliocentric or Geocentric? The Catholic Church had always believed and told people the Earth was the center of the universe Galileo and Copernicus believed the Sun was at the center (like how gum is at the center of, uh uh, blow pop!)
Science and the Church At the time- Catholic popes believed that science challenged the authority of their God They would ex-communicate, or kick out, those who believed in science, like Galileo Some were killed or jailed as heretics You could always buy an indulgence to be forgiven An indulgence was a payment to have a priest absolve you of your sins (remember this one- it s going to change religion forever!)
