Both art and music seem to follow the centres of patronage (the Low Countries and Northern Italy in the Late Middle Ages). Literature and especially science seem more distributed (except for the upsurge in Britian in the 19th century).
lol the map is so wrong and it doesnt change in time. Whole countries missing, other present before they were arisen. Its like a child made it :)
Charles Murray? Not a good source.
So, the size of Germany depends on whether you look at it as art or literature. Plus: isn’t literature art?
The borders dont change in any map so they do not represent anything and they do not fit to any age. Its even hard to say which country they concern. So the guy above is correct. Child or retarded author
Wow, these comments are kind of ridiculous. You guys don't need to worry so much about the choice map, just appreciate what it's communicating. A lot of Murray's work is about varying intelligence in different people groups. The lines on the maps are not perfect, but they are sufficient as cultural boundaries. The ad hominem toward Murray is totally unnecessary. And come on, the fact that the first Literature map is different is just a editing mistake.
I also don't appreciate the man who commented "Learn some history before you show your ignorance." Not only are you being needlessly rude, but Poland existed as a country for 400ish years before the first map in this collection. You could have just been nice about it :D
tl;dr Maps are great, and everyone should be nice to each other :D
C. Murray forgot a list of Greeks, who influenced Europe and I'm not talking about the ancients. First entry is Cardinal Bessarion from Trebizont (1403-1472)Renaissance scholar, another one is Demetrius Chalcocondyles(1423-1511)from Athens,who fled to Italy after the ottoman conquest. Doménikos Theotokópoulos or El Greco(1541-1614), painter from Crete, who was well known in Spain.Another dot is missing from Crete and represents Nikos Kazantzakis(1883-1957),anyone who doesn't know Zorba the Greek?
