It supposedly started in the city of Florence as the outcome of changes in writing and painting the late 1300’s. The Renaissance, which mean, “rebirth”, and brought to light, “classical learning, a rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman authors, and a recovery of the ancient Greek spirit of scientific inquiry”. The Renaissance was also known for the vast improvements in the state of living throughout Europe and the discovery/colonization of geographic areas which was accompanied by religious wars of certain land (Periods: Renaissance). It brought to light that life depended much more on observation and science and brought back Latin and Greek ideas and beliefs. Although the Renaissance was not encountered by all across Europe, the Renaissance still brought valuable education concepts and reforms, led to how the world was viewed as it is today, and, “ best known for its artistic developments…” (Wikipedia). During the Renaissance, artists and writers first started earning a living through their work instead of just patronage. Artists and writers were described as the scientists of The Renaissance and the High Renaissance and brought to the human eye the natural world through observations, not through religious ideas. The Renaissance was a very important time to Europe because of improvements in every aspect of life and will continue to be praised in the future. **
