Renaissance

Renaissance (borrowed from French: renaissance "rebirth") is the name given to the European cultural epoch during the transition from the Middle Ages to modern times in the 15th and 16th centuries. It was characterised by efforts to revive the cultural achievements of Greek and Roman antiquity. Starting in the cities of northern Italy, the artists and scholars of the Renaissance with their innovative painting, architecture, sculpture, literature and philosophy also influenced the countries north of the Alps, albeit in different ways in each case. The term "Renaissance" was only coined in the 19th century.
