THE RENAISSANCE 1350-1600 The word renaissance means "rebirth." The idea of rebirth originated in the belief that Europeans had rediscovered the superiority of Greek and Roman culture after many centuries of what they considered intellectual and cultural decline. Michelangelo’s best known creations is the sculpture David (1501-1504). The 14.2-ft tall marble statue shows an alert David waiting for his enemy Goliath. The School of Athens (1510-1511) is one of several frescoes that Italian Renaissance artist Raphael painted in the Vatican Palace’s Stanza della Segnatura. The fresco, which depicts ancient Greek philosophers and scholars, such as Plato and Aristotle (center), is considered a masterpiece in the portrayal of the artistic ideals of the Renaissance.
