Renaissance

The Renaissance ushered in the Age of Exploration, which played a large role in the expansion of trade and the Commercial Revolution. Because of discovery voyages and acquisitions, Europeans were able to expand trade networks and increase their world power through empires.

The Renaissance produced great works of painting and sculpture. It also saw a flourishing of poetry and drama in vernacular languages.

There is no exact political or social event that occurred to mark the beginning of the Renaissance or the end of the Middle Ages for that matter. But a general guideline can be that this transition began late in the 14th century (after the Black Death) and through the 15th century with the advent of modern technology and exploration.

The Northern Renaissance however approached at a much slower rate and can also be classified as Late Gothic. Unlike the secular styles that the southern art sometimes portrayed, the Northern art stayed focused more on religion. These pieces used alot of iconography to display symbolism in there works. Also different types of medians were used. The Italians used a lot of Fresco which is actually mixing the dyes of the paint with the plaster in the wall as it dryed to paint a mural, versus just painting on the exterior of the plaster itself. The Northerners painted on a lot of wood, and made diptych and triptychs.
