Early Renaissance

The Early Renaissance was a period in European history, roughly between the late 14th and early 15th centuries, marked by a renewed interest in classical art, science, and humanism. Artists, architects, and scholars drew inspiration from ancient Greece and Rome, developing more realistic representation of the human figure, depth, and perspective in their work. This era saw the emergence of influential figures like Masaccio and Brunelleschi, who advanced techniques that transformed artistic expression. The Early Renaissance laid the groundwork for later developments in art and culture, emphasizing individual creativity, scientific inquiry, and a revival of classical learning.
