The renaissance comes from the French word meaning "rebirth". It referred to the movement that swept across mediaeval Europe where the arts (painting sculpture etc) took on new life and vigour. Artists began to experiment because they felt a new sense of freedom. What followed was the Baroque period whereby artists began to ignore the usefullness of the art they were creating, concentrating more on the decorative aspects. What followed Baroque? Artists almost completely forgot about the usefullness of the objects they were creating and gave themselves over to excesssive decoration. This period is called the Rococco Period. I hope that will be of some help.
