Renacimiento

Renacimiento, or the Renaissance, was a cultural movement that began in Italy during the 14th century and spread across Europe. It marked a revival of interest in the classical art, literature, and knowledge of ancient Greece and Rome. Driven by a focus on humanism, the Renaissance emphasized individual achievement, scientific inquiry, and artistic innovation. This period produced renowned artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, and thinkers such as Erasmus. It laid the foundation for modern Western thought, sciences, and arts, representing a significant shift from medieval traditions to new ways of understanding and exploring human potential and the world.
