The Renaissance was termed as the most influential period in the cultural movement that brought about a scientific period of revolution and artistic renovation through the dawn of the modern European history. The Renaissance begun during the 14th century in Italy and in the 16th century at the northern Europe, where it was known as the “Rinascimento”. The subsistence of the Renaissance was questioned by the positive changes, he argued that the period held the decline from the middle Ages, which destroyed a lot of important aspects. The Latin language developed from the conventional era that was used in the churches and other languages . The Renaissance addiction with the classical purity saw the Latin changing their classical form and their natural evolution ended. It was contended that the period had a great economic recession that slowed down the scientific progress.
There is a certain theory that advanced the levels of destination of the community based by the “Black Death” in Florence. This occurred in Europe in the year 1348- 1350, resulting to a change in the sophisticated view of individuals in the 14th century who had been hit by the plaque. It has been perceived that it would result to the familiarity of the death that caused philosophers to settle on their social lives instead of their spirituality. The Black Death has been noted as a pandemic effect of Europe in diverse ways . The renaissance emerged as a factor that hindered the development of Europe especially because of the association of complex interaction. The plague had diverse demographic declines because o the economic threats that had risen in most of the parts in Europe. The individuals who survived plague had the opportunity of cheap food and the abundance of lands.
There was no starting point in the place and it happened gradually at diverse places at different times. No definite dates had been set for the conclusion of the Middle Age period, though the starting period was started in Northern Italy. As part of the humanist revolution movements had finished their height of human accomplishment, they managed to reach the roman empire and the ages in which the period was socially labeled as the “Dark Age”. The history was viewed as a social, art and literacy development, as majority of it was not set on the religious aspects. The Re-birth of the Renaissance meant that the rediscovery of the ancient Roman and Greek empire based on the ancient manuscripts and the humanist mode of learning. The recent ideas of the past had triggered the commencement of the arts, sciences and other regions .
The other possible stabbing point was the decline of the Constantinople to the Turks in the year 1453. This was the turning destination of the people as the cannon and gunpowder had become the central element that was focused on by diverse communities. The Byzanite-Greek scholars fled to west of Rome where they brought renewed energy and interest in the Greek and Roman cultures, presenting the old religious order in Europe. The intellectual movements known as the Renaissance humanism that had fierce independent and combative urban societies of the cities of Northern Italy in the 13th and 16th century interwove the Italian Renaissance . The first of the two decades of the 15th century saw the emergence of the distinct cultural effloresce, for example Florence. This was later known as the Florentine enlighten (Holmes), which was a major achievement to the community. It was termed as a classical culture that had sought living from the republican’s ideals of Athens and Rome. The artists of the Roman models and the classical themes contributed to the process of renaissance. This society developed a new relationship within its classical past based on the principle of the Florentines to the 1st century. Rucellai stated that he belonged to the great ages that expressed similar sentiments .
The Renaissance was described as the constituent of the rebirth of the human spirit that constituted of the renovation of the human spirit that influenced the human potential for development. A movement that outwardly characterized the season when reality was limited to the artistic elite did the contributions to the change in the 17th century. The political and material culture of the entire world was based on the radical changes of the renaissance. Despite the mixed reaction of the participants, the Italian Renaissance did not spontaneously develop, but instead it was precede from 1000 years of intellectual and artistic history. From the wide historical aspects, the Renaissance cannot be disjointed from the middles ages. According to Jacob Burkhardt and Voltaire, the Renaissance was termed as the unique period in the years. It is vital to comprehend with the Italian Renaissence of the artistic and literal movements, without succeeding the movements that influenced northern Europe and Britain, instead of lumping them all together in an inaccurate and ambiguous age . It was common that the middle age was the period between the prehistoric world and the early recent age. However, the actual dates of the establishment and the conclusion of the era’s is not clear. It is easier to determine the medieval era in terms of the most significant and distinct features, that makes it simple for them to determine their turning points and associate dates. The middle age was much of Antiquity, comprising of the Middle Ages, early contemporary period, and the modern period. This is combined and it refers to the duration of the Renaissance. The recent idealism of the humanism has diverse secular aspects that have been exhibited, for example in the Northern Renaissance. It was not based on the religious aspects of individuals; this was based on the assumption people had towards God . Renaissance had an effective reasoning on the contemporary theology as it was based on the perception of people’s relationship toward their God. The renaissance period started at a period when there was a religious turmoil, a factor that led to the decline of the Roman Catholic Church, previously referred as the hegemony. This led to the improvement of Humanism and Renaissance, based on the direct role in the sparking reformation of the simultaneous religious disputes and disagreements.
The cultural movement did not occur in the 14th to the 17th century, but this was not the period of the Renaissance as many communities had not been established. The Renaissance was known to have been established in the 14th century in northern Europe due to different areas and time. The Early Modern period and the Middle Ages did not affect the different places roughly within the same period across the entire of Europe . The cultural movements did not become established until the late Middle Age and the early contemporary period. The ideas that developed in the tardy Middle Age period of the Renaissance were because of the modern historians described as the turning point of the 16th century, where the early modern period started. The reason of this occurrence was due to the archeological findings of the typical sources. The Middle Ages was also refereed as the “Dark ages”. The aim of this uprising was accredited to the crumple of the Roman Empire and the commencement of the renaissance of the lights based on antiquity of the works of Aristotle and Cicero.
The human critics and the philosophers claimed later that the churches had blocked the sources that solidified their rule and management. The renaissance period was termed as the period that instituted all the things in order. This classical period was that created the vogue and adopted the ideas of the people for example Aristotle. The church adopted the ideas of individuals and their rules to oratory the main ideas about their preaching for peace. The enlighten of the communities depended on the conventional foundations and establishment towards the intellect of explanation and special experiences instead of depending on materials that were created 1700 years before. The comparison Middle Ages and the Renaissance started in the 17th century and it was propelled to the early modern ages . The main difference between the pre-Renaissance Middle Ages and the middle ages was their focus on the classical sources and the inspiration that was drawn from the antiquity of the present latter of the two and absent to the former era. The negative social features that were connected to the medevial social factors influenced majority of the historians, they include, deficiency, fighting, spiritual and opinionated persecution.
Majority of the people who existed during the Renaissance were viewed as the golden age implicated by the authors as the people concerned by the social maladies. The artists presented the issue as a cultural movement that perceived those living in the new era to be a break to the middle ages . According to the Marxist philosophers, the renaissance material was identified in diverse aspects, for example, art, literature and philosophy was made part of the general economic trend for the feudalism towards capitalism leading to the development of the nature of Renaissance. It was noted that the existence of the drift was acknowledged the presence of the Renaissance based on the aspects of renovating the whole process. The step led to the decline of the High Middle Ages, leading to the destruction of the Latin language. It also led to the progress of superior gender dichotomy, minimizing the illiteracy levels women had in the Middle Age. Philosophers claim that the term Renaissance is unambiguous positively rebirth of the primitive features of the Dark Ages. Majority of the historians prefer to refer to the neutral designation that implicated the destinations that were highlighted in the transitional periods between the modern eras . The Italian renaissance was a repository of various mails and the ideas of the western history. A new way of communication was created to replace the rebirth of the ancient ideas as part of great innovations and discoveries.
