BACKGROUND TO THE RENAISSANCE
- The word ‘renaissance’ is a French word which means ‘rebirth’. The people credited with beginning the Renaissance were trying to recreate the classical models of Ancient Greek and Rome.
- The Renaissance period was the succeeding epoch of the Middle Ages which was the gap defining the classical and modern period. Often branded as the Dark Ages, the Medieval period was characterized by some years with famine and pandemics such as the Black Death.
- During the 14th century, the philosophy of humanism began to emerge in Italy. Humanism emphasizes that man is the center of the universe and that all human achievements in art, literature, and science should be regarded. Instead of relying on the will of God, people began to act according to capabilities.
- In 1450, Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of movable printing press revolutionized communication and publication in Europe. As a result, publications of humanist thinkers like Francesco Petrarch and Giovanni Boccaccio were printed and distributed to elite and common people.
- In addition, the growth in trade and commerce between the East and West set the stage for the Renaissance
