Question

Write a note on Renaissance

Answer 1

Instructions: The answer to this question can be broken into 3 main parts:

1. Explain the situations during the medieval period in Europe.
2. Explain the changes that took place during the period of the Renaissance.

Solution:

• The fine arts, literature, and history in the Medieval period were centred on religious ideology.
• Most of the literature was written in Greek and Latin languages.
• By the dawn of the 13th century, Latin and Greek gave way to regional languages like English, Spanish, and French.
• Artists and writers started shifting towards the theme of human life. The literature now was no longer confined to religion and philosophy.
• Corresponding changes took place in other art forms as well.
• This concept of delving into the different aspects of human life is known as humanism.
• It promoted the spirit of inquiry and reasoning. Thus, a new awakening in all spheres of human life became visible in Europe and it is known as the Renaissance.
