Introduction | Renaissance Recommendations

The Renaissance was defined by the rebirth of classical learning. People read Cicero and Lucretius, Ovid and Homer. Perspective was introduced into art. Rediscovery of Roman and Greek statues inspired some of the greatest artists of all time. But it was also a period of rapid political change and it saw some of the best minds of the last thousand years. The Medici and the Borgias reigned supreme. This was the age of Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Donatello, and Raphael. Join me for this history series about one of my favorite historical time periods!
