The Age of Discovery and the Renaissance: Transforming Perspectives of Humanity

DESCRIPTION

The Age of Discovery (1400-1700) marked a period of exploration and global interaction, leading to the (re)discovery of the Americas and the foundation of the modern world. Concurrently, the Renaissance (1300-1600) ushered in a "rebirth" of art, culture, and humanism, largely supported by wealthy families and city-states in Europe. This era emphasized individualism, secularism, and rational thought, profoundly altering humanity’s conception of itself. Notable figures like the Medici family and classical influences shaped this transformative period, laying the groundwork for contemporary civilization.
