Time capsule
Being a cultural anthropologist in search of a hidden time capsule from both Renaissance and the Age of Baroque period it is in my humanity to pursuits the task art , music, architecture, philosophy and literature in the time capsule. Once we discover the way about of the time capsule I hope I will be able to unlock some of these periods’ mysteries. The Renaissance is described as the economic and intellectual changes that occurred in European 14th century to 16th century. The Baroque age of 1600-1750 motion and interpreted the details to produce drama, tension, grandeur and exuberance from sculpture, painting, music and literature.
According to Cameron(1987), the time capsule that has been looked for long but we have been traveling the world and going on leads to possible hidden inside the time capsule from both eras. I will give an example of what I think is rumored in the art, music, architecture, philosophy and music. Creative perception is what probably required in the art by the artist and the audience in addition to human being motions. In Leonardo Da Vinc the last supper would be an art piece that would have been preserved from time in the period of Rena. For the Age of Baroque period I believe Jan Vermer’s Christ in the house of Mary and Martha would be the piece in the time capsule. These pieces of art from Renaissance and age of Baroque have impacted world events and cultural pattern of the time in a religious way.
Music is systematization of audible sound which used in entertainment. Both Renaissance and the Age of Baroque periods, music happened in traditional before modern technology. Jean Mouton from French composed music in Renaissance period. In the age of Baroque, an Italian composer by the name Jacopo Peri composed music. Both composers played a very important role in establishing the sound of music that reflect world event and cultural pattern of the time (Cameron, 1987).
During Renaissance architect was trained to help in raising of the status of the profession from skilled labor artist. An example of architecture in both Renaissance and Age of Baroque was among paintings. In the Renaissance, Van Eyck uses details piece to reflect and enhance the portrait’s esthetics. During the Age of Baroque Caravaggio who was an Italian was good in painting ceilings such of Sistine Chapel. The both time capsule reflected and drew to many interceptions. Events and cultural pattern are reflected in a way of designing by painting (Cameron, 1987).
In the Renaissance, philosophy rebirth of classical civilization and learning about enthusiasm for the occult was covered by the mankind. Corpus Hermeticum understood the philosophy and he introduced the purpose of change which was extremely rare copy in time of Renaissance. Philosophy in the Age of Baroque was regarded on Rene Descartes writing example rationalist and empiricist. The pattern of the time and cultural events are reflected by the understanding and changing of philosophy (Nussbaum, 1990).
Johannes Gutenburg invented the use of local vernacular languages instead of Greek or Latin which was used in Renaissance which was effective. Rumored contain in the first book was printed by Johannes by using of the printing press. In the time of Baroque, literature was recorded using metaphor and allegory. Atheneo de Grandesa in the time capsule is an example relief a feeling in representing literature of this period. This reflects world event and cultural pattern of the time with the different invention of literature (Nussbaum, 1990).
