The Renaissance

T

he Renaissance refers to the period in European civilization towards the end of

the Middle Ages, which was characterized by a surge of interest in classical learning

and values.

1.

The origin of the Renaissance

The

Renaissance

emerged

when

social

instability,

economic

sluggishness

and

intellectual depression became so intolerable that

most of the people, especially the

intellectuals

could

no

longer

accept

the

worsening

situation.

The

Renaissance

as

a

movement

first

started

in

Florence

and

then

expanded

to

Venice,

Rome

and

other

Italian cities before it swept the rest parts of Europe. Painting and sculpture were the

most

sensitive

fields

to

the

change

with

their

subjects

and

tastes,

shifting

from

dullness,

stagnation,

lack

of

emotion

and

divinity

to

dynamics,

enthusiasm

and

humanitarianism.

Literature

and

ideology

soon

followed

as

other

important

areas

proceeded

and

the

movement

further

separated

itself

from

feudalistic

tyranny,

ecclesiastic bondage and sought intellectual freedom and ideological emancipation.

2.

The characteristics of the Renaissance

The

Renaissance

is

characterized

by

seeking

ideological

emancipation,

intellectual

freedom

and

political

awareness,

based

on

cultural

production

and

religious

reformation.

All

these

were

undertaken

or

unfolded

gradually

but

widely,

extending its influences to every corner of Europe, with more and more people getting

involved.

The

achievements

were

seen

principally

in

six

areas,

namely,

painting,

sculpture, poetry, fiction, drama and religious reformation as well as the change in the

cultural and intellectual climate.

3.

The influence

of the Renaissance

The

Renaissance

was

an

important

stage

in

the

historical

process

of

the

Western

civilization and indicated a transitional period from the Middle Ages to

the modern

era in the development of Western culture. Economic and intellectual changes during

the Renaissance both helped to speed up Western social and cultural development and

prepared

the

necessary

conditions

for

the

rapid

progress

in

political,

social

and

ideological areas of the Modern Age.
