The former talk show host has been very candid about his circumstances, even going as far as to joke about who his favorite baby mama is and dropping a rap about his partners and their kids. Stay tuned for a look at just what each Renaissance artist gave to his respective turtle.Nick Cannon had his eight children with five different women and is expecting the ninth with DJ Abby De La Rosa (who’s already the mother of two of his kids). The strengths of those individuals were given to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and the boys were brought into the world destined for greatness. It was a period of rebirth, and the minds that sprang from it were unlike any before. The Renaissance was a great part of the world’s development, and the ingenuity that came out of the period was unlike anything seen for hundreds of years. Who wouldn’t want to strive for the same greatness as the minds that helped mold the current era? Truly, Splinter wanted the boys to strive for great things, and their names were meant to be the starting point. Michelangelo created some of the greatest artistic works retained by the western world. Da Vinci is one of the names most often associated with the Renaissance, and is considered a father or modern thought. As for their names, there’s no doubt that Master Splinter wanted to promote in his sons the greatness of best from the period of rebirth. Additionally, it was all about educational growth, and so four newly developed minds were ready to be filled with all the knowledge a ninja master had to offer. So why did the creators choose Renaissance artists for the names of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Renaissance means “rebirth”, and so like the world and knowledge these baby turtles were reborn. The modern world flourished, and Europe led the way into the age of exploration and conquest. Logic, reason, and science found a happy medium with art and literature that had not been seen in the Europe for some 1,500 years. While it’s debated as to how much knowledge was “lost” during the Middle Ages, the Renaissance did bring a new line of thought to the world of the time. There was a lot of good to come out of the Renaissance period. The entire period was certainly a success. The thinkers were attempting to move from a religious-controlled world, into one that struck a balance between the church and the mind, as things had been in age of antiquity. Ultimately, the period was about the intellectual advancement of society. Even better served were the creation of the printing press, and its dissemination of written knowledge to the masses for the first time in history. Painters and thinkers like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo brought advances in how science and art perceive the human condition, and set the stage for the great thinkers of the modern period. The period focused on bringing realism, education, and a linear perspective to the study of humans as subjects. Theories vary from the Greeks to the Ottoman Empire in Turkey and even the Medici family. It is widely agreed that the movement as a whole began in Florence, Italy during the 14 th century, but no one is quite sure who got the ball rolling. Spanning the 14 th-17 th centuries, the Renaissance period brought enlightenment and advances in the arts, architecture, science, technology, and countless other areas to the European continent, helping to bring the area out of the Dark Ages. The Renaissance was one of the greatest cultural occurrences to ever affect the world. But what exactly was the Renaissance, and why did Master Splinter feel those were appropriate names for his sons? So Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo were given their monikers, and began their ninja training. Alongside his new wards, he found a book of Renaissance artists, and gave the young reptiles the names of some of the greatest masters the world had ever known. As the story goes, Master Splinter found four baby turtles in the sewers of New York City.
