(Rebirth). Term used to describe art from around 1350 until the 16th century.
Beginning in Florence, by the late 14th century, a mindset developed that, in retrospect, was classified as the rebirth of the classical ideals of ancient Greece and Rome. During the 15th and 16th centuries, the Renaissance spread first through Italy and then across Western Europe, influencing the entire artistic creation. Brilliant artists such as Donatello, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Dürer, Holbein, Cranach and Fouquet created their immortal works by following the humanistic premises and placing the human being in the centre of all thinking.
In literature, the Renaissance reached its pinnacle through the dramatic works of William Shakespeare.
By the end of the 16th century, the Renaissance had to give way to the opulence of the Baroque, before its ideas experienced a rebirth in the Classicism of the 18th century.
