The Characteristics of Renaissance

The word Renaissance means ''re born.'' its a cultural movement that spread roughly the 14th to the 17th century, began in Florence in latest middle ages and later spread to the rest of Europe. The word Renaissance also referred to the word era, this term was uninformed in Europe this term was general used to the term widespread reform. this cultural movement, was based on learning of classic sources, development of linear painting and modern era. Renaissance show evolution in intellectual pursuit, as well in social and political upheaval, best know for its artistic development and the contribution of such polymaths as leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, who inspired the term ''renaissance man''. 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.
