    The document summarizes key aspects of the Renaissance period in Europe between 1485-1660. It began in Italy and later spread to Northern Europe. The Renaissance was a period of cultural, artistic, political, and scientific "rebirth" as ideas and knowledge from classical antiquity were rediscovered. This led to a shift away from medieval scholasticism towards empirical observation and the application of scientific principles. Important figures like Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Shakespeare made seminal contributions to art, science, and literature during this time.
