Learning goal

At the end of this presentation, you will be able to recognize and explain what the Renaissance is and what the impact of the Renaissance has been on art and life in Europe at the end of the Middle Ages.

Renaissance

• Means: Rebirth of Greek and Roman art and culture

Period between approximately 1450-1600

Originated in Italy

Why Italy?

• Many remnants from Roman times
• 
  
• Through trade: more wealth and contacts with other cultures (Africa, Middle East, Asia)
• 
  
• Enjoying luxury goods
  

Why Italy

• Rijke Italianen willen kunst (van zichzelf)

• Kunstenaars krijgen daarom veel geld

• Kunst wordt daardoor steeds beter

Anders denken over het leven en de dood

• "Memento mori" (Remember to die) becomes "carpe diem" (Seize the day)
• People start living more for the present life, and not solely for the afterlife
  
• God and faith remain very important, but trust in the church diminishes
