Why was the Renaissance possible?

Answer 1

The renaissance happened mainly because the black death killed alot of workers so commoners could get good paying jobs. Because people had money now they could buy things like art or go to plays. Now people who made art and plays got more money and the renaissance began.

Answer 2

The European Renaissance happened as a result of several interlocking events. The first was the rise in wealth, power, and independence on the part of numerous Italian city-states. Important here was the desire of the leaders of these city-states to match ancient civilizations in cultural achievements. In step with this desire, new texts full of new ideas came into the possession of Italian scholars and artists, which gave birth not only to new artwork and new literature but also to a creative spirit and other new values on the part of the Italians and, in time, to the rest of Europe.

Answer 3

The Renaissance was possible because of the prosperity of northern Italy, and in particular, the prosperity of the elites in that region.

The Renaissance saw a renewal of interest in the classical period, and in particular in Greek classical art.

Renaissance art began with the Byzantine (Greek) forms, with its two-dimensional representation of holy subjects in painting. From here, the imagination and skills of the Italian artists saw it develop into the more lifelike three-dimensional forms, and the subject matter extend from religious subjects to non-religious subjects as well.

The Renaissance also saw the recovery of sculpture as an art, of which there were many examples in Italy to be followed, being those surviving from the time of the Roman Empire.
