Importance of Renaissance

Looking back to classical scholarship stimulates learning and innovation.

• The antique writings led to humanism in the arts, which basically means the human being dominates most paintings.
• Period of innovation and exploration (School of Navigation: 1418) (Gutenberg press: 1440)
• Dissemination of art techniques: Copyists and marketplaces.
• New Technology; Invention of oil painting; Use of canvas instead of wood.
