What does this illustration suggest about the shift in people's thinking from the middle ages to the scientific revolution

During the middle ages, men were busy colonizing other nations. Empires were busy expanding their borders with their cavalry, ships and military troops. After this period followed the Renaissance. This was the time when man's creative talents were at its peak, both in science and in art. People learned to appreciate art through paintings, sculptures and architectures. Scientists also ventured into experiments to create what is the foundation of the modern world today.
