Family Life During the Reanissance

 How was the family life during Renaissance?

      People of the renaissance are separated in to groups regarding their status and their jobs.  In the image we can see that the king is the first class while the merchant is the second class, the knights are the third class  and finally the peasants are the lower class who work hard, earn and pay a lot of tax to the higher classes.  This is a secondary source because this is a drawing form the late 20th century, this image has a lot of detail in it for us to understand.

Children

The children during the Renaissance are similar to the children these days.  They played games and they had work to do. They cared for their younger siblings. There were many things that they needed to learn and much was taught to them at home. Children mainly learned farming skills and how to care for livestock. Girls learned skills, such as sewing and cooking. Formal education was available to children of middle and upper-class families.

This is a picture of young girl during the Italian renaissance. The image shows how the children are dressed and their style. It is a primary source because Giovanni di Paolo painted this young girl in 1475 and this is a good example of how the children look during the renaissance. http://vinoconvistablog.me/2012/01/28/i-love-italian-renaissance-art/
