The Renaissance
The Renaissance was a period that lasted from the 14th century to the 17th century and began in Italy in the Late Middle Ages. It is seen as a cultural movement that brought back old philosophies and art to give new perspectives on life. Some historians say that the Renaissance was the bridge that connected the Middle Ages to the Modern Era. The Renaissance is best known for its advancements in art, even though it made social, political, and scientific advances as well.
