Characteristics Of The Renaissance
The Renaissance, or "Rebirth," was a revival of learning and art in Europe after the Dark Ages. Here are major characteristics of this period:
1. The influence of the Italian scholar Petrarch, who revitalized interest in theclassical thought of the Greeks and Romans. This revival of classical thought was a rejection of the "barbarism" and the "corruptions" of the centuries since the times of the Greeks and Romans.
2. The embracing ofHumanism made sweeping changes. Whereas medieval scholars had been concerned with the harnessing of reason in the service and defense of religion, the Renaissance scholar, poet, and philosopher concerned himself with the real world, the world of nature and men, As a consequence, universities became more secular, producing now educated laymen; heretofore, only those of the religious orders had been scholars. Renaissance art, too, became more natural and realistic.
3. The commercial revolution began as feudalism died and different areas of the European countries developed important urban commercial centers. Regional self-sufficiency also began as areas concentrated on what they best produced, such as raw materials, grain and other foods, or creation of needed tools, etc. By the middle of the period, small-scale trading evolved into commercial capitalism and a revolution had certainly begun as trading was conducted overseas.
4. The creation of the Renaissance state came about after the decline of papal and Imperial dominance left Italy and a bellicose condition began as larger states absorbed lesser ones. As a result, the forerunners of the modern state began as the Medieval republican city governments that ruled outlying territories as well were replaced by an individual despot in Milan, a powerful, rich oligarchy in Venice and Florence, and by the pope in papal states around Rome.
