To me the renaissance was all about “rebirth”. It was the “rebirth” of music, art, science, and learning. During that they created the printing press. This all took place in Italy. One very famous artist Leonardo da Vinci. He painted the Mona Lisa. Another famous artist is Michelangelo. He made the statue of David. He also painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. That’s what I think the Renaissance is all about! 🙂
