Ancient history

What is the Renaissance period?

The Renaissance period was a cultural and intellectual movement that spanned the 14th to 17th centuries, beginning in Italy and later spreading across Europe. It was characterized by a renewed interest in classical learning and literature, as well as the rise of humanism and individualism.

The Renaissance was a time of great artistic and intellectual achievement, and saw the rise of many famous artists, writers, and scientists, including Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Dante, and Shakespeare. It was also a time of great political and social change, with the rise of nation-states and the beginning of the Protestant Reformation.

The Renaissance had a profound impact on Western culture and society, and its legacy can still be seen today in our art, literature, and education.
