How did the Renaissance affect the modern world?

Answer 1

In my opinion the renaissance had 5 main effects. During the renaissance there were many advances in in science art literature religion and ideas. After the crusades Europe as a whole became very open to new ideas setting the basis for the renaissance. With this new mind set came literature, before then literature in Europe was almost non existent with the invention of the printing press people could share ideas, also with the printing press came mass production of bibles for the first time in historian. with this new mindset and access to The Bible people began to second guess the church and its teaching and were able to develope there own perceptions. During the Middle ages the region was exclusively controlled by the Catholic church. this control also governed art. This meant all painting were strictly religious and the perception of human form very mutilated because of man's sinful nature. However the Renaissance brought about a new twist on Greek and Roman art which made completely transformed art giving artists freedom of creativity. Lastly science with the trade and openness to new ideas came the desire for knowledge with the boom of trade new ideas from around the world were coming together and some of the worlds greatest minds appeared and transformed out outlook and knowledge of science and the world around us.
