From the begining
The Renaissance originated in Italy, Florence during the 14th century and gradually spread across Europe.
The Renaissance was characterized by a revival of classical art and literature, a shift towards humanism, and advancements in science and technology.
From Italy, the Renaissance ideals and artistic innovations gradually spread to other European regions, contributing to the Northern Renaissance and shaping the cultural landscape of the entire continent.
The invention of the printing press by Johannes Gutenberg in the mid-15th century played a huge role, allowing distribution of books and knowledge.
There are about 11584 recorded artworks across Renaissance period.
