ABSTRACT

The Renaissance from the 14th to the 16th century is a cultural movement of great historical significance. Its causes are complex and diverse, including the emergence of capitalist sprouts in places such as Italy in the late Middle Ages, which brought economic development and the rise of the emerging bourgeoisie. They were eager to get rid of the shackles of feudal theology. The rediscovery of ancient Greek and Roman cultures provided people with rich ideological resources and artistic models. The rise of cities and the growth of the citizen class have higher demands for culture and art. The Renaissance had a profound impact. In terms of ideology, humanist thought was widely spread, emphasizing the value and dignity of people and breaking the confinement of people's thoughts by theology. In the field of literature and art, many outstanding works and artists emerged, promoting the innovation and development of art forms such as literature, painting, and sculpture. In terms of education, it promoted the popularization of education and the development of disciplines and cultivated a large number of talents. In the field of science and technology, it inspired people's exploration of nature and laid the foundation for the rise of modern science. In short, the Renaissance had an indelible impact on the historical development process of Europe and even the world.
