European History [1]
Renaissance Art Renaissance?literally renaissance means ?rebirth?. In fact it means much more. The Renaissance began in Italy in the 14th and 15th centuries. It reached its climax in the 15th and 16th centuries but continued to be a significant influence in many countries up to the 20th century. The Renaissance was complex and its affects vast.

The revival of classical culture was the second general idea. Classical architecture, literature, philosophy and art were studied with great passion.
