The Renaissance is a European intellectual and cultural movement that took place between the 14th and 17th centuries and reflected the demands of the emerging bourgeoisie.
The concept of "Renaissance" was already used by Italian humanist writers and scholars in the 14th and 17th centuries. At that time, people believed that literature and art had been highly prosperous in the classical era of Greece and Rome, but declined and disappeared in the "Dark Ages" of the Middle Ages, and was only "regenerated" and "revitalized" after the 14th century, so it was called "Renaissance". "
The Renaissance was a period of great prosperity in the Middle Ages, but it was not until the 14th century that the Renaissance was reborn and revitalized.
The Renaissance first emerged in the cities of Italy, and later expanded to the countries of Western Europe, reaching its peak in the 16th century, bringing about a period of scientific and artistic revolution, and unveiling the prelude to the history of modern Europe, which is regarded as the demarcation between the Middle Ages and the Modern Age. The Renaissance is one of the three great intellectual movements of modern Western Europe (the Renaissance, the Reformation and the Enlightenment).
