Exploring the Renaissance: A Cultural Rebirth in Art and Thought (1430-1550)

The Renaissance, meaning "rebirth," marks a transformative period in European history from 1430 to 1550, beginning in Italy. This era was characterized by a vigorous resurgence in art, literature, and humanist ideas, generously supported by merchant patrons. It spread throughout Europe, evolving in its expression. Notable artworks such as Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus," Michelangelo's "David," and Raphael's "School of Athens" exemplify the shift towards realism and the importance of the individual. The Renaissance also contributed to increased education, the rise of national governments, and a decline in papal power.
