Third, medieval European literature.

(1) The Middle Ages (Middle Ages)

According to western tradition, European history can be divided into three stages: the classical age, the middle ages and the modern age. There are two theories about the beginning time of the Middle Ages:

1. The period from the 5th century A.D. to15th century, from the collapse of the Western Roman Empire to the Renaissance and the Great Navigation Age.

2. The period from the demise of the Western Roman Empire (AD 476) to the demise of the Byzantine Empire (AD 1453).

Europe in this period did not have a strong regime to rule. Feudal separatism brought frequent wars, and Catholicism imprisoned people's thoughts, which led to the stagnation of science and technology and productivity, and people lived in hopeless pain. Therefore, the Middle Ages or early Middle Ages are generally called "dark ages" in Europe and America. Traditionally, this is a period of slow development in the history of European civilization.

Expenditure of Wila (Diego Velazquez, translated from velazquez)

Velazquez (1599— 1660) was a Spanish painter and realist in the baroque period in the 17th century. His works of historical myths and religious customs have almost no "spirit" of Renaissance or Baroque era, and are replaced by the natural modality of ordinary people. His paintings neither praise nor condemn social life. His understanding of realism is that he only paints what he sees on the canvas truthfully.

Gong E is an important work in his later period, which describes the daily life in the court. The little princess Margaret is depicted as solemn and childlike, occupying the center of the picture. A maid-in-waiting knelt down and gave her a glass of water. On the left of the picture is the painter himself who is painting.
