The renaissance means rebirth. This is because renaissance artists think that mediaeval shade work of arts, they wanted to reveal the beauties of antiquity. Renaissance come out in Italy but it spread all over Europe.
Before renaissance stage in Italian painting, byzantine mosaics and frescoes had impact. Pictorial art did not affected from ancient heritage easily. European artists moved away from artists of the middle age because of the volume of art, perspective and shadow-light. Renaissance period are summarized in two words proportion and balance. Picture was used for ornamental element of large sturcture but painting could be made independently in renaissance period. Artist did research abput volüme of the human figüre to get perspectives. Artist did not stylize motifs of the natüre and feel free for expressing emotion in their paintings. Artist were able to work independently. When I ask why renaissance is showed up in Florence, I made research and learn that Florence preserved arts and creative artists and intellectuals people came together. The values of human began to understand and scholastic thought was demolished. Then, humanism is came up and humanity has found itself again. Lastly, Leon Battista Alberti which has done theoretical studies was an architect in renaissance but he did not limited itself about architect and he wrote social issues like family patterns and eating morals. As a results, artist touched society in many aspects in renaissance and people had more freedom.
I agree that renaissance means rebirth. The everything about art changed. The perspective of artists changed strongly. They made shadows, thanks to current feelings about that period. It'S known that, artist worked independently after the renaissance period started. Especially, the humanism came up and humanity has found itself again.
