Science in the Italian Renaissance: The End of the Medieval World Robert Bellarmine wrote "his displeasure with Copernican theory" (Patrick 1253) to Paolo Antonio Foscarini in 1615
Empirical evidence is stressed in fields such as biology or anatomy, while rational evidence helps establish principles in mathematics and physics. Although these methods of inquiry were not unknown in medieval times, for they built off the teachings of Plato and Aristotle, "the success of the scientific method in modern times arose from the skillful synchronization of induction and deduction by such giants as Leonardo, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton" (Perry 384)
Italian Renaissance merchants were moving goods across seas at an immense rate, and so merchants also inspired scientific inquiry: "Technical problems, such as calculating the tonnage of ships accurately, also served to stimulate scientific activity because they required careful observation and accurate measurements. Then, too, the invention of new instruments and machines, such as the telescope and microscope, often made new scientific discoveries possible" (Spielvogel 326)
For example, Babcock argues that the Reformation is alive today for the reasons that Max Weber emphasized in his 1905 book "whose title gives the whole thesis away": The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. (Babcock 212)

Bennett observes, "It was not a passion for elegant Latin which motivated the humanistic movement, but a search for guidance toward a new way of life. Religion and morality constituted the major field of discontent" (Bennett 5)
John and the Virgin Mary (as well as two others who may be representations of the artist's patrons). The naturalism with which Masaccio gives his subjects creates a three-dimensional effect as though the persons in the painting were molded by the paint and breathed with life (Johnson 258)
Fra Angelico's subjects are even more realistic and naturalistic because of their poses (some of the poor are hobbled, even lamed) and the sanctity of the deacon who took such good care of the poor. As the story goes, it was his love of the poor that led directly to his martyrdom (Kirsch)
The naturalistic beauty of the Christ gives a further lesson, which is that the Sacrament of the Eucharist is this same Christ, sacrificed during on the altar in an unbloody manner. The placement of each of these elements of religious symbology and naturalistic beauty tells all these things masterfully in Masaccio's Holy Trinity (McCarthy 48)
Indeed, it serves as a key to the didactic artwork. To understand how it does so, one must first inspect the sarcophagus in the lower portion of the fresco (Schlegel 19)
