Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As the Italian Renaissance progressed, Western culture began to change drastically. Artists and scholars were inspired to go back to the roots of the classical Greek and Roman societies as a means of influencing a new culture. A new idea of humanism became prevalent, and this gave rise to a more secular society.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Renaissance was all about religion, leading to a high use of sacred themes in their art. But, that’s not all. Mixed in with all of these religious themes, we also see plenty of secular images, meaning they are from daily, non-religious life.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Renaissance was a fervent period of European cultural, artistic, political and economic “rebirth” following the Middle Ages. Generally described as taking place from the 14th century to the 17th century, the Renaissance promoted the rediscovery of classical philosophy, literature and art.
