Painting and sculptures became more realistic, and literature and architecture borrowed from classical styles.

THE POLITICAL IMPACT Niccolo Machiavelli • Courtier and Politician in Florence • Florence – Most powerful Renaissance city-state • The Prince • Machiavelli’s book on how to secure and maintain political power • Machiavelli argued that the most successful rulers were not those who acted according to laws or conscience, but those who were willing to do whatever was necessary to hold power • “the end justifies the means”
