The Renaissance was the 300 years of great ideas, art, & literature. It was the rebirth, the new beginning, after the worst times imaginable. The renaissance started in Italy when people started focusing on their own achievements rather then other less important things. Humanism suddenly became important during this time. Humanists study human history, achievements, & progress they've made over the years. Greco-Roman the combination of Greek and Roman culture also became popular.
Renaissance men or woman were the people that were into the classics, art, combat, & polities. DaVinci, Michelangelo, Gutenberg, Machiavelli & Shakespeare are all considered renaissance men, for their world famous writing, artwork, play writes & inventions. DaVinci for his portrait of Mona Lisa. Michelangelo for his statue of David. Gutenberg for his creation of the printing press. Machiavelli for his book The Prince. And finally Shakespeare for all his play writes.
The renaissance also brought new ways to paint, like realism. Through realism artists expressed what they saw visually, socially, and emotionally. Another, very popular way to paint was the vanishing point and perspective. For a more realistic touch.
