2. Introduction The word “Renaissance” means “rebirth” in French
It was a period when artists and scholars began to show interest in what they believed to be the “Revival” of literature, classical learning, and, most importantly, art.
I chose these art pieces because they all looked interesting with the amount of detail they all had.
