The Renaissance (French for "rebirth”) was a cultural movement that spanned roughly from 1350 to 1600, beginning in Florence, Italy during the Late Middle Ages and later spread to the rest of Europe.

As a cultural movement, the Renaissance encompassed a revival of learning based on knowledge from Classical Greece & Rome
This intellectual transformation has resulted in the Renaissance being viewed as a bridge between the Middle Ages and the Modern era.

Although the Renaissance saw changes in many intellectual areas, as well as social and political upheaval, it is perhaps best known for its artistic developments and contributions.

Beginning in Italy and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, Renaissance influence affected literature, philosophy, art, politics, science, religion, and other aspects of intellectual inquiry.

In all, the Renaissance could be looked at as an attempt by intellectuals (the educated) to study and improve the secular (non-religious) view of the world

Renaissance scholars employed a new way of thinking (the humanist method), where they searched for realism and human emotion in art and emphasized individualism & individual talents.

Humanism was a deep interest in the achievement of man — both man’s past achievements as well as potential future achievements. For the first time, scholars did not try to connect classical writings to Christian teaching, rather, they tried to understand them on their own terms.

Fifteenth-century Italy was one of the most urbanized areas in Europe. Many of its cities stood among the ruins of ancient Roman buildings; it seems likely that the classical nature of the Renaissance was linked to its origin in the Roman Empire's heartland. People were inspired by what man was possible of creating.
Why Italy?

The unusual social climate in Italy allowed for the emergence of a rare cultural development. Italy was divided into smaller city states and territories: the Kingdom of Naples controlled the south, the Republic of Florence and the Papal States at the center, the Genoese and the Milanese to the north and west respectively, and the Venetians to the east.

During the Renaissance, money & art went hand in hand. Artists depended totally on patrons (those who buy art) while the patrons needed art show off their status.
Wealth was brought to Italy in 14th, 15th and 16th century by expanding trade into Asia and Europe & the increased flow of luxuries from the Eastern world brought during Crusades.

In Florence, most historians recognize the role played by the de’ Medici (a banking and patronizing family) in stimulating the arts. Lorenzo de' Medici (1449–1492) was the man behind an enormous amount of arts patronage and encouraged his countryman to buy works from Florence's leading artists.

Like artists, writers also changed their subject matter. They began to express their own thoughts and feelings. Niccolo Machiavelli took a new approach to understanding government. He wrote a book called The Prince. He focused on telling rulers how to expand their power.

He believed that it was better for a ruler to be feared than to be loved.
He also believed that the “ends justified the means” or that a ruler should do what was politically effective, even if it was illegal or not morally right to maintain power.
Niccolo Machiavelli?

The Renaissance of Northern Europe
By 1450, the bubonic plague was over in northern Europe and the Hundred Years’ War between France and England was ending. This allowed new ideas from Italy to spread to northern Europe were they quickly adopted. Here, too, rulers and merchants used their money to sponsor artists. But the Northern Renaissance had a difference, educated people combined classical learning with an interest in religious ideas too.

The Renaissance of Northern Europe
Writers of the Northern Renaissance combined humanism with a deep Christian faith. They urged reforms in the Church, they tried to make people more devoted to God and they also wanted society to be more fair.

One reason that learning spread so rapidly during the Renaissance was the improved version of the invention of movable type, Chinese printing.

In 1440, a German, Johann Gutenberg, used this same practice to invent his printing press. He produced his first book — the Gutenberg Bible — in 1455
By 1500, presses in Europe had printed nearly 10 million books

Printing made it easier to make many copies of a book
Written works became available in English, French, Spanish, Italian, or German (vernacular-the spoken language)
More people began to read (The Bible was a popular book)
After reading the Bible, people formed new ideas about Christianity (these ideas were different from official Church teachings
