Renaissance Period

The Renaissance Period, spanning roughly from the 14th to the 17th century, was a time of great cultural, artistic, and intellectual revival in Europe. It marked a shift from medieval thinking to a focus on classical antiquity, science, and humanism—emphasizing human potential and achievements. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo created groundbreaking works, while thinkers such as Galileo and Copernicus challenged traditional views of the universe. The Renaissance laid the foundations for modern science, literature, and philosophy, profoundly shaping Western civilization and leading to advances in various fields.
