Listen to part of a lecture in an Art History class.
请听艺术史课上的部分内容。
As I was saying, the Renaissance period, which started in the 1400s Europe,
就像我在说的，文艺复兴时期15世纪开始于欧洲，
the Renaissance was still a pretty religious period, and that’s reflected in the artwork of that time.
文艺复兴时期的宗教色彩还是非常浓厚的，而这反映在了当时的艺术作品中。
But artists were starting to experiment with a more secular point of view as well, a tendency to also use the natural world as the subject matter for their art.
但是当时的艺术家们也在开始尝试一种更现世的视角，一种也使用自然的世界作为他们艺术主题的趋势。
And there were different ways that these natural themes were explored.
对这些自然主题的探索有不同的方式。
For instance, many artists would paint portraits, while others, although this was more common in Northern Europe, would make landscapes the subject of their works.
比如，很多艺术家会画肖像，虽然这在北欧更常见一些，但其他人会把山水作为他们作品的主题。
But today I’d like to consider an influential Italian Renaissance artist, Leon Battista Alberti, who took a slightly different approach.
不过今天我想来讲讲一位颇具影响力的意大利文艺复兴艺术家Leon Battista Alberti，他的做法有些不同。
Leon Battista Alberti was a painter, sculptor, architect, musician, poet,
Leon Battista Alberti是一位画家、雕塑家、建筑家、音乐家、诗人，
very wide-ranging interests, like Da Vinci or Michelangelo, the sort of guy for whom the term “Renaissance Man” was in fact created.
他的兴趣非常广泛，就像达芬奇或米开朗琪罗一样，“文艺复兴人”（形容多才多艺的人）这个词实际上就是为他们这种人创造的。
