Question

Write about the art and architecture of renaissance period in italy?

Answer 1

The Italian Renaissance (Italian: Rinascimento[rinaʃʃiˈmento]) was a period of European history that began in the 14th century (Trecento) and lasted until the 17th century (Seicento), marking the transition from the Medieval period to Modernity. The French word renaissance (Rinascimento in Italian) means "Rebirth" and defines the period as one of cultural revival and renewed interest in classical antiquity after the centuries labeled the Dark Ages by Renaissance humanists. The Renaissance author Giorgio Vasari used the term "Rebirth" in his Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architectsbut the concept became widespread only in the 19th century, after the works of scholars such as Jules Michelet and Jacob Burckhardt
