1505| 1100–1532 | South America [administration] | The Inca empire dominates the Andes region of South America. Its population numbers as many as 12 million. Incan society is based on a strict hierarchy, with an emperor who rules with absolute power. Their religion is based on sun-worship, and they are skilled builders who create a system of roads and irrigation. | | 1505 | Germany [sculpture] | The German artist Michael Pacher completes the Altar of Saint Wolfgang. A huge and ornate altarpiece which brings together a host of carved and gilded figures and painted panels (not by Pacher), this work is typical of late Gothic art in Germany. | | 1505 | Italy, Rome [sculpture] | The Italian artist Michelangelo (Buonarroti) is commissioned to sculpt a vast tomb for Pope Julius II. He works on the project on and off for nearly 40 years. It is intended to have 28 individual figures. The centrepiece, the Moses of about 1513, is the outstanding achievement. | | 4 April 1505 | Holy Roman Empire, Hungary, Bavaria, Germany [political events] | At the Diet (legislative assembly) of Cologne, the Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I, strengthened by his victory in the Landshut War over the duchy of Bavaria-Landshut, obtains support from the German princes for an expedition to Hungary to assist King Ladislas II against his factious nobility; constitutional reforms are designed to further promote his aim of a universal Habsburg monarchy. Bavaria-Landshut is divided between the claimants. |
