The Renaissance became one of the most crucial periods in human history since it is a period of vast changes and developments. This, from the 14th through the 17th century and having originally started in Italy, has been portrayed as an age that shows new interest in art, science, and literature. People began taking different views of their existence in the world and within the world. They drifted away from the age of the Middle Ages, which was a more God-oriented period, to a period more focused on man. Artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo created things of beauty that inspire mankind even today. Realism and an interest in the human body changed art forever. Scientists and thinkers like Galileo and Copernicus challenged ideas about the universe that were considered sacrosanct until then and advanced science by leaps and bounds. Writers like Shakespeare and Dante did the same for human emotions and experiences that had never been opened up to critical imagination. The Renaissance also overlapped with the era when Johannes Gutenberg would invent the printing press, thus democratizing access to books among other members of society and making it easier for new ideas to cross over the rest of Europe in record time. It supported the very basics of many of today’s sciences, arts, and literature. It spawned a new way of looking, acting, and questioning of old notions that sought wisdom, much of which, to this very day, benefits many humankind amenities. The Renaissance gave impetus to the making of the Contemporary World with Creativity, Novelty, and Thirst for Knowledge.
