Important people from the renaissance
In this era there were a lot of painters, writers, scientist and religious people. Renaissance arts was distinguishing because it development of highly realistic linear perspective. Giotto Di bondone was the first treating a painting as a window into space, Filippo Brunelleschi and his architecture demonstrated that, Leon Battista Alberti formalized as an artistic technique. Other painters development many other techniques we have a big example that is Leonardo Da Vinci, was one of the most genius man and bring a lot of changes for the Renaissance era, for me it was the most important character of that era. Talking about science in this era, Leonardo da Vinci was another big exponent for this, was a scientific revolutionary. Capra classify him as, father of modern science, not only him was a big exponent in science also Copernicus, Galileo, newton and Rene Descartes.
The new scientific method led to great contributions in the fields of astronomy, physics, biology, and anatomy. this means that renaissance not only brigs advances in arts but in also in science and there were many changes in the fields of each contributions, Leonardo da Vinci, keeps being the maximal exponent of this era he was a man that knew each type of studies and brings changes but also more things to study. A new idea come among in this era and was religion, development against a Christian backdrop, especially in the northern renaissance. a big dedication for church take place in this era. In times of religious turmoil, middle ages saw a period of political intrigues surrounding the papacy, claimed start having power through the pope of that time. The pope of that time was accused of simony, for renaissance that mark was not good because it seems that not all was correctly good and still problems affected that era.

The Renaissance has a long and complex historiography, and there has been much debate among historians, many of them use the term as the historical delineation. Some historians believe that the renaissance was just the advance of the period of pessimism and nostalgia for the classical age, while the other ones just focused on continuity between the two eras.
Renaissance has also been used to describe other two historical and cultural movement, the first one was called Carolingian Renaissance and the Renaissance of the 12th century. Both movements were very important for the Renaissance because was a big advanced for the cultural and historical movement that over comes. Renaissance was an advanced for historical and cultural in many ways because literature, philosophy and many other types of advanced comes in that era. Renaissance was an era of many things new, for that is called renaissance which once said before it means, rebirth. Many perspective were used in that era, also new characters comes among, it was an era that you can show your feelings and expressed your ideas in many ways, for me the most important character in that era was, Leonardo da Vinci, he was a polymath: painter, sculptor, architecture, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and writer. He was consider one of the greatest painters of all the times and a genius also best know as the renaissance man.
