Renaissance means rebirth and it refers to the rebirth of interest in the classics (the Greeks and the Romans. Most of the works by the Greeks was lost in Western Europe, whereas the Romans were just ignored. In the Italian Renaissance there was a great interest in the Romans and it was thought that there was a lot to learn from them. Many scholars travelled around Europe to find Roman manuscripts which had been transcribed by monks some 400 hundred years earlier. There was a great interest in them. Architecture and sculpture were modelled on that of the Romans. Roman myths were commonly used in painting. Roman rhetoric was taught at school. It could be said that the Italians in the Renaissance were obsessed with the Romans. When Constantinople was conquered by the Turks, many Greek scholars fled to Italy, bringing with them ancient Greek books and knowledge of the ancient Greeks. This spurred interest in the Greeks.
