Renaissance:
The word Renaissance is a word meaning re-birth. It is the re-birth, or re-emergence, of classical thinking from Greece and Rome.
During the Renaissance wars were fought, colonies settled, the importance of education/philosophy rises, and the glorification of artists, painters and sculptures.
The Renaissance begins in Florence due to its political and economic situation. In addition wealthy families, such as the Medici family, became patrons of the arts. Prior to the Renaissance artist subject matter was primarily religious. Since the patrons were commissioning the art work during the Renaissance they could dictate the subject matter.
