It wasn't. The Renaissance doesn't start until 1400 and the plague was through out the 1300's. So, there is at least a 100 years difference.
The Black Death was an outbreak of bubonic plague that happened in 1347 to 1352. This was a time that was before the end of the Middle Ages, but the Middle Ages and the Renaissance overlap to some extent, and many historians would put this after the Renaissance began. Also, the bubonic plague, or Black Death, returned many times after the Middle Ages, including during the Renaissance.
The Black Plague indirectly led to the Renaissance.
Yes it was.

Bubonic Plague, small pox, the usual
The Renaissance would have never happened.
Since the middle ages where preoccupied with the plague, we have no way to know how the Middle Ages would have been without the plague.
The end of the Middle Ages neared at the dawn of the Italian Renaissance. Spain was completing the Reconquista and Portugal began exploring the coast of Africa. The Black Death (bubonic plague) spread across medieval Europe between 1346 and 1350.
After the Medieval Period, the Renaissance began. Towards the end of the Medieval Period, the plague (or black death), struck Europe killing 1/3 of the population. After the plague struck, and so many people died, many people began wondering what life was all about. Thus, the Renaissance (a rebirth of art and literature), began.
The bubonic plague was called the Great Pestilence, Great Plague, or Great Mortality during the Middle Ages. Somewhat later it was called the Black Death. There is a link below.
