    RENAISSANCE

    By:- Manasvi, Aanya, Akshat and Ritvik.

    PRINCIPLES OF RENAISSANCE

     The renaissance was not a sudden or


    spontaneous development.
     It was based on certain beliefs of what is right
    or wrong.
     It had certain features which touched different
    aspects of life.
     The common people, the aristocrats, the kings
    and even the popes were affected by it.
     Humanism:-Humanism was regarded as the most
    remarkable phenomena of renaissance. It was a
    product of the spread of education and learning.
    The word ‘humanism’ was derived from the Latin
    words ‘Studia Humanitatis’.
     Humanism extolled man and stressed his
    essential dignity. It was centered on the man of
    flesh and blood and all his earthly joys and
    sorrows.
     It defended his right to pleasure and the
    satisfaction of earthly desires and requirements.
     Glorification of human form:- The Renaissance
    scholars and artists glorified human body. Their
    works were permeated with the faith that a man
    with an active mind and body was capable of
    knowing and controlling the world, of performing
    miracles and fashioning his own happiness.
     This spirit of humanism found expression in the
    new art and literature. The Renaissance artists
    took their subjects from the Bible but portrayed
    the human form in all its earthly beauty and vigour.
     Spirit of enquiry:- The Renaissance humanists
    believed in limitless potentialities of man but
    they also did not forget the past.

    Renaissance Art
    The spirit of enquiry extended from scientific
    enquiry into nature , explorations and
    expeditions to probe into every realm of
    knowledge.
    It proved to be the principal cause of renaissance

    BEGINNING OF RENAISSANCE
     The Renaissance first began in Florence , Italy in the
    14th century and was regarded as the cultural bridge
    between the Middle Ages and modern history.

     It started as a cultural movement in Italy in


    the Medieval period and later spread to the rest of
    Europe, marking the beginning of the Modern age.

     Various theories have been proposed to account for its


    origins and characteristics, focusing on a variety of
    factors including the social and civic peculiarities of
    Florence at the time.
    The Renaissance had spread to many parts of the world but
    it all first started in Italy. There are many reasons for this ,
    few of them are:
    1. The enormous wealth which Italy had
    accumulated as a result of trade with the
    countries from the East contributed to the rise of
    Renaissance in Italy. The city-states of Italy,
    which were positioned on the
    Mediterranean Sea, were centers for trade and
    commerce, and helped in the flourishing
    economy. The wealthy merchants of Italy
    patronized the artists and literary figures at that
    time and used their wealth for the revival of
    classical culture and literature.
    2. As a result of the crusades and geographical explorations , the
    Italians came into contact with the countries of the East.
     This greatly broadened their vision and provided an impetus
    to the rise of Renaissance in Italy.
     As they reached different countries while exploring , they were
    influenced by their societies and cultures.
     The people of these countries shared new ideas and thoughts
    which contributed to Renaissance and changed the ideology
    of the people in Italy.

    This complex transitional movement from the Medieval times to


    the modern times slowly spread from Italy to many parts of the
    world and it marked the beginning of the modern era
    3. Italy was the seat of the seat of glorious Roman
    Empire and all the historical remains and relics of
    the Romans were found there. These attracted a
    number of scholars and artists.
    4. As a result of the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, a
    large number of Greek scholars and thinkers
    migrated to Italy along with their original
    manuscripts and art treasures. These scholars not
    only instilled a spirit of enquiry and enthusiasm
    among the people of Italy but also encouraged a
    large number or Italian artists and men of letters to
    produce masterpieces of art and literature
