The Renaissance Rebirth of Western Europe

Why “Rebirth”? The word Renaissance means rebirth. Used to describe the time that followed the Middle Ages The Renaissance was a time of new thought and advancement. New ways of thinking developed in the areas of art, architecture, science, philosophy, and politics.

Italian City-States During the Renaissance, Italy was a collection of city-states, each with its own ruler—the Pope in Rome, the Medici family in Florence, the Doge in Venice, the Sforza family in Milan, the Este family in Ferrara Among the ruling families of these city-states there was conflict and intense rivalry—either by open warfare or through economic and artistic competition.

Renaissance Trade Routes

The States of Italy during the Renaissance, c.1494

Medici Family Medici Family: Bankers from Florence Florence: center of the Renaissance movement (because of the Medici family support)

Patrons: Patron: Someone who provides support to a specific cause and/or person/people For example: The Medici Family funded many Renaissance Artists. The Pope was also a patron of Renaissance art.

The Printing Press Invented by Johann Gutenberg in 1455 How did it work? Block letters were held together by a wooden form. Ink was rolled over the raised surfaces and then pressed against a sheet of paper. How were books made before the invention of the printing press?

“What gunpowder did for war the printing press has done for the mind” Books could be produced quickly and with relatively little effort Bookmaking became less expensive More people could afford to buy books People began demanding books that were printed in the vernacular Literacy rates went up People start to learn about Humanism Vernacular: the native language of a place (Italian, French, German, etc)

HUMANISM During the Middle Ages, scholars had been guided by the teachings of the church, and people had concerned themselves with actions leading to heavenly rewards SPIRITUAL During the Renaissance, Western Europeans rediscovered the classics of Ancient Greece and Rome and became more focused on humans, their intellect and life here on earth SECULAR
