The earliest drawing of a parachute-like concept comes from Italy in the 1470s. Mariano di Jacopo detto il Taccola sketched the conical device you see below. It wouldn't have worked — the parachute is too small, the wood would be too heavy — but the idea is there:

About a decade later, Leonardo da Vinci sketched a similar idea — a pointy cloth parachute held open by a wooden frame. Though da Vinci’s design was never actually used in the Renaissance, it apparently works; a British skydiver named Adrian Nicholas tried it out in 2000.

Lady Ysabella Theer

Based on the portrait of Bianca Maria Sforza, by Giovanni Ambrogio de Predis

#the golden rose #ysabella #my art #fanart #I've wanted to do this one for a while #Ysabella's profile is really wel suited to early renaissance betrothal portraits that are always in profile #not that Ysabella is betrothed as far as I know #but I maintain that based on the technology the golden rose has to be early renaissance at the earliest #and i will continue to use the fashions of the 1400s as my inspo #please tell me tumblr fucked up the image quality as much as it currently appears #the whole point of this one was to try to enjoy doing lots of detail work #it mostly didn't work #i found doing all those pearls absolutely painful #but i like how it turned out so tumblr better not have ruined it #ramble ramble #complain complain #etc etc #also don't ask what the deal is with the ... artichoke? towers? on her dress? #idk what that's about its just what's on the dress in the original painting

Leonardo da Vinci was the man who saw the future! While famous for his art, he dreamed of helicopters, robots, and diving suits centuries ahead of his time. His notebooks are filled with designs for inventions that could have changed history.

A set of modern Jericho redesigns I did for fun!

Based on the thought of a Rebirth-style Titans team if Joey had been part of the crew. He’s just Ravager’s hot brother who shows up sometimes (and Nightwing is looking respectfully). 👀

#teen titans #joey wilson #jericho wilson #new teen titans #josie's art #mostly me trying to figure out how to salvage his leggings/boots combo without sacrificing the colours #we can do this. we have the technology. we can keep joey a renaissance disco relic AND make him stylish

So, uh...I've recently been reading the Emelan books by Tamora Pierce and Briar's Book hits a lot different in a post-Covid world, don't it?

#how is it #I ask you gentle reader #that a fantasy world with renaissance level technology #does better pandemic care than our world in the year 2020 #boggles the mind it does #emelan #briar's book #tamora pierce #like don't get me wrong #I loved the book! #5 stars #but holy shit Tammy had her third eye wide open writing that one #the moment that really hit me was Tris complaining her glasses don't fit right over a cloth mask

Electricity was first produced in usable form in late 1500s Venice, where it was a popular fad to use it to burn patterns into wooden clogs. However over disputes over the ownership of the patent that turned violent following the unexpected death of the inventor and an unfortunate fire in the Venetian archives the method to reproduce the device was lost to time and electricity considered a short lived, impractical fad.

Hob would’ve been so invested in the space race during the 60’s. Not because he’s particularly interested in the geopolitical aspect; he couldn’t care less about the petty feud between the US and Russia, but the fact that mankind was going to space for the first time?? He’d lose his shit and you can bet your ass he kept an incredibly detailed journal about it to share with his Stranger if he showed up after their fight

#He’d show the same rapt attention to the invention of the car and the television and the ‘modern’ radio too #his little renaissance peasant brain would be in FITS with the rapid technological advances of the latter half of the 20th century #sandman netflix #the sandman #hob gadling #dreamling

WHY DOES THE RENAISSANCE HAVE TO HAVE SO MUCH TO IT

How does the Volturi deal with today’s technology ? For example during the feeding what if a phone or Apple air tag is thrown somewhere ( hidden ) during the chaos and the last location is in volterra in this really sketchy castle…

I mean, I imagine it's a mixed bag. Modern technology has made the law easier to enforce in a lot of ways as Aro can now text his guard orders from the other side of the globe, and instead of having to send out Demetri every time he wants to get in touch with someone he can see if they have a phone first. Traveling is made much easier.

On the downside, humans have technology too.

Heidi's humans

(Also answered here, but I received enough follow-ups that I'll just reiterate it.)

I can't imagine the humans Heidi brings in are allowed to bring their technological gadgets. They could use it to communicate information about where they're going to loved ones, they could film something they shouldn't, and as you say the geolocation on their devices could prove incriminating for the Volturi. Most likely Heidi has a basket she asks everyone to put their phones, smart watches, tablets, etc. in, and some method for searching them without their realizing they're being searched, just in case anyone tries to hide their phone away. (One possibility I can see here is that Heidi goes through all their clothes while they're showering or asleep on the journey, or else she gives them new ones that conveniently don't have any pockets).

We see one of the tourists she has ensnared is taking pictures with his camera, but it being 2006 that wouldn't have been a smart camera. Most likely, non-smart, non-communicational devices are allowed to stay to give them a false sense of security, and if the device wasn't damaged during the massacre it is either destroyed or confiscated after they're dead.

In short, no, I don't think Heidi's humans are a problem. Modern technology simply means Aro needs to write her a protocol for that.

The internet as a threat to the secret

Should a vampire or any other supernatural being go viral, I think the best thing the Volturi can do is ignore it. Acknowledging it in any way would only be calling attention to themselves. Better to deal with the offender on the sly, and let the humans figure out an explanation for the youtube video they saw one way or another.

Should the humans arrive at the correct conclusion, if the footage is verified and clearly depicts humanoid creatures killing humans, then Aro will have to take it from there but it really wouldn't be different from how he'd have to respond if there was a public massacre with enough survivors that the reality of vampires can't be denied.

And that, I think, is a scenario the Volturi have always been prepared for (and which has likely come to pass before). In that, the internet isn't too revolutionary.

Ultimately, though, even if the secret comes out it would be a headache for the Volturi, but they'd manage. The secret's purpose is to force vampires to reign it in, not to be secret for secrecy's sake. In that, the Volturi will be just fine no matter what modern technology gets up to.

hook encounters the vaccine for polio and goes fucking insane. 'What do you MEAN people don't want this, swan? You mean to bloody well tell me that there are people out there who are purposely choosing to expose themselves to bloody polio instead of taking a simple injection to never die of it again?'

OH ABSOLUTELY

killian would 100% be pro-vaccine and pro-medicine/science, he probably has 1st hand experience over loved ones dying from it (his mother, perhaps, friends, crewmates, etc). he would be delighted at how far medicine has progressed !! and that people aren't dying of simple diseases anymore. but he would also 100% punch an anti-vaxer in the face for being stupid.

#he seems like he would be very invested in science and breakthroughs #and very judgemental of people who dont believe in it #“tf you mean you believe the earth is flat. if thats true then im santa bloody clause” #golden age of piracy was right after the renaissance period #and it was marked by technological breakthroughs and a newfound love for science !! #dont tell me killian wouldn't be all over science magazines and documentaries

america (and maybe the world?) is in a period of cultural stagnation. it's difficult to deny.

many people take this as evidence of america's inevitable decline.

but i don't think that's the case. cultural stagnation isn't /necessarily/ indicative of decline. on the contrary, it often precedes a cultural renaissance.

the italian renaissance was, after all, preceded by the dark ages.

#i just find the idea of america suddenly collapsing inconceivable right now #america has so much going for it -- more than probably any other country in the world #if america is going to collapse most of the rest of the world is going to collapse long before it #but also i can't imagine a world where the current period of cultural stagnation lasts forever #something has to give eventually #and i think it would be quite poetic if it is again birthed by renewed interest in classical civilization #history has a habit of repeating itself anyway #and i know with new technologies we are going to be able to read and translate so many new ancient texts #like the scrolls from that one library in pompeii #i just think the idea of this high-tech society undergoing a classical revival could be very interesting #especially considering we're entering a post-christian world #just feels like we're primed for another renaissance #and maybe another great awakening and national rebirth along with it

#The Golden Rose #Alain #Ysabella #my art #Fanart #It took my a while to decide what era I wanted to pull from fashion wise #Like I know that the golden rose isn't historically accurate at all but it is still meant to be vaguely medieval #and I'm a nerd so #I eventually decided to take inspiration from the quattrocento (with many liberties taken) #because technologically the story seems kind of 15th century #what with the plate armour and galleons #and yes the 15th century is late medieval/early renaissance but given the story is about recovering lost ancient knowledge #it being the dawn of the renaissance kinda works #plus quattrocento fashion is pretty so there's that #There are other reasons too but I'm going to stop rambling in the tags now

do you think the cullens could use smart phones?

like aren’t touchscreens heat based?

how would that work

maybe smeyer would just use it as another way to reinforce the “old-fashioned good, modern bad” thing
