Detailed explanation-1: -The Renaissance Man While Leonardo da Vinci is best known as an artist, his work as a scientist and an inventor make him a true Renaissance man. He serves as a role model applying the scientific method to every aspect of life, including art and music.
Detailed explanation-2: -The civilisations of ancient Greece and Rome were rediscovered, inspiring an interest in Classical learning which challenged medieval beliefs and ideas. The population was becoming wealthier which led to an increase in trade and travel and the spread of new ideas.
Detailed explanation-3: -European societies underwent huge changes in the 15th century, and so did art. In the 14th century, Italian artists began to revive the heritage of Greek and Roman Antiquity. This is why this period is called the “Renaissance”, a word which comes from the Italian Rinascita, which was first used in the 14th century.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Roman Catholic Church also began to lose its power as church officials bickered. At one point there were even two popes at the same time, each one claiming to be the true Pope. During the Renaissance, men began to challenge some of the practices of the Roman Catholic Church.
