Detailed explanation-1: -Humanism drew its roots from Greek and Roman mythology, and Botticelli included these in his works The Birth of Venus and Venus and Mars, depicting Venus with realistic human features.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the Renaissance, Humanism played a major role in education. Humanists-proponents or practitioners of Humanism during the Renaissance-believed that human beings could be dramatically changed by education. The Humanists of the Renaissance created schools to teach their ideas and wrote books all about education.
Detailed explanation-3: -Johann Gutenberg’s invention of movable-type printing quickened the spread of knowledge, discoveries, and literacy in Renaissance Europe. The printing revolution also contributed mightily to the Protestant Reformation that split apart the Catholic Church.
Detailed explanation-4: -Humanists early associated themselves with the printing press when it came into being in the mid-fifteenth century and provided authors, editors and market for its products. Some, preeminently Erasmus, so thoroughly harnessed the great power of print that they were able to project themselves on to a European stage.
