The Renaissance was a European cultural movement that spread from Italy to the rest of Europe over the course of the 14th, 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries. This time period served as a bridge between the Middle Ages and the modern era, marked by revolutionary advancements in the fields of politics, science, technology, and art. It was an intellectual transformation of sorts, with a higher value placed on learning and scientific observation. This, in part, led to a more secularized version of learning, and it placed more merit in the findings of science, much to the dismay of the church.
The Renaissance is known as an artistic revolution as well, featuring a cultural rebirth through painting and architecture. Some of the most famous pieces of the time period include Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Michelangelo's Creation of Adam. The Renaissance was characterized by the philosophy of humanism, which focused on the study of history, poetry, grammar, moral philosophy, and rhetoric. This method of learning stressed the importance of the human mind, and humanists made it their goal to stretch the limits of intelligence.
