Francis Bacon, 1 st Viscount St Alban, KC (22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626) was an English philosopher, statesman and essayist but is best known for leading the scientific revolution with his new 'observation and experimentation' theory which is the way science has been conducted ever since.
BANKING The rise of commerce would have a marked impact on medieval society-Feudalism made way for the emergence of capitalism and urban life. Where feudal lords once ruled over populations of serfs and peasants, newly rich merchants now emerged to form a powerful and affluent class that did not take kindly to the authority of either the nobility or the church. Bolstered by monetary profits, this newly emerging class was able increasingly to essentially buy townships or boroughs from the nobility in the form of fixed annual taxes, thereby securing the right to govern these townships by themselves.
Printing Press ● ● As populations shifted into urban areas, new professions around mercantile activities were created. Clerks, scribes, accountants, and bankers were all new lines of work requiring literacy and numeracy. The education of common people was thus a task that had to be undertaken on a scale that had not hitherto been possible. In feudal society, most people, including many of the nobility, were generally illiterate, and education was mainly for the clergy.
Science ● ● ● Artists like Leonardo and Michaelangelo performed dissections on human bodies and were superb anatomists. Interest in mathematics meant that mathematical perspectives became possible in works by artists such as Brunelleschi, Masolino and Masaccio. In their paintings, two dimensional spaces are rendered as three through mathematically precise positioning of planes and angles. Similarly, the world of science was informed by the Aristotelian idea that understanding the natural world required systematic observation, experience and the careful study of nature
