How was the Renaissance different from the period preceding it? You will in all likelihood look this up but what I want from you is not the copied answer but answer to whether or not it really was much different. If so how. Understanding that was the change in the 14th century(1300s) or 15th century (1400s) was it 1375 or when did the change occur or was it less dramatic and more evolutionary? explain

Answer:

The Renaissance period was a rebirth or reawakening and a complete change from the Medieval period

This period truly started in 1300, when the powerful and art-loving ruling family Medici family took over over Florence, italy

They commissioned many pieces of art from artists like Michelangelo, and this began the rebirth of painting

Paintings became more about the human beings, and less about God and religious concepts

Other things that started this movement: the emergence of humanism, new technological advances and the discovery of Greek and Latin texts that inspired artists - so this all came together

Simply put, all these factors came together to foster in a new awakening, where artists were encouraged to paint human beings and to glorify human beings (example: Michelangelo's famous David sculpture, still in Florence, Italy)
