Etymology

The word 'Renaissance' originates from the French term meaning 'rebirth', which itself is derived from the Latin 'renascentia'. This term refers to the revival of art and learning that occurred in Europe during the late Middle Ages. The Renaissance was marked by a renewed interest in the learning of Ancient Greece and Rome, leading to new ways of thinking about politics, philosophy, science, and art. The movement began in Italy in the late 14th century before spreading throughout Europe, profoundly influencing the course of Western history. Artists and thinkers such as Botticelli and Galileo made significant advancements during this time, laying the groundwork for the modern world. The Renaissance not only transformed art and science, but also shaped the development of Western civilization itself, fostering a spirit of inquiry and creativity that continues to inspire today.
