Humanism in the Late 15th and Early 16th Century

For about 50 years Rome is this enclave of millennial thought literally millennial or half millennial thought. So you've got the sacrifice of Noah as the culmination of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling because Noah's the first pope. You have Bramante doing the first Doric architecture but he doesn't think it's Doric. It's a Truscan architecture. There's just this collective insanity certainly peculiar thought that's there for a short time and then is dissipated.
