The term "Renaissance," which means "rebirth" in French, was used to describe the cultural movement that began in Italy in the 14th century and spread throughout Europe. It signified a revival of interest in the art, literature, and learning of classical antiquity, particularly ancient Greece and Rome. This period marked a significant shift away from the medieval focus on religious themes towards Humanism and the exploration of human potential and experience. The Renaissance profoundly influenced various fields, including art, science, and philosophy, shaping the course of Western civilization.

How did the renaissance affect the role of women?

In the Renaissance times a Renaissance Woman was supposed to marry well, be loyal to her husband and give birth to boys. A Renaissance Man, on the other hand, had to be well-educated, have cultural grace, be a gentleman and understand the arts and sciences. He also had to have refinement, be of noble birth and have courage. Many women did not fit the mold of what they called a "Renaissance Woman." Many of them would fit in as more of a "Renaissance Man" or what we would call a "Renaissance Woman" in our day and age.


Summary of the proto renaissance era?

The Renaissance begins in the early 1300s. Some people call this period "Late Gothic" - which just means the late Middle Ages, while other people call it the "Proto-Renaissance" - the beginnings of the Renaissance. In any case, a big revolution is beginning to take place in the early 1300s - in the way people think about the world, the way they think about the past, and the way they think about themselves and their relationship with God. * http://smarthistory.us/site/about
