The Renaissance began in Europe during the 14th century, primarily in Italy, as a revival of interest in the classical art and literature of ancient Greece and Rome. This cultural movement was fueled by the wealth generated from trade and the patronage of the arts by influential families like the Medici. The fall of Constantinople in 1453 also played a role, as it led to an influx of Greek scholars and texts into Western Europe. This period marked a shift towards Humanism, emphasizing individual potential and the study of humanities.
