Utopia Written in Latin is a fictional story based off of the political views of Sir Thomas More Humanism Martin Luther The Prince Macbeth Leonardo da Vinci Done in water color, this painting has incredible detailing in the wing of this bird called the roller, found on southern I believe that Leonardo da Vinci embodied humanism. He was able to take something and make it so much more. He changed art forever. He made techniques that when thought about logically seem simple but when thought about in that time seem as though it was something impossible. I believe that Martin Luther is one of the greatest humanist because he wanted truth for the people, and wanted the church to have less control over them. He believed that the followers of the church should be able to read and learn the bible on their own. He also stood up for the truth of the bible, and did so by questioning the churches power, which at the time was very courageous.
