    Renaissance art, painting, sculpture, architecture, music,

    and literature produced during the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries in Europe
    under the combined influences of an increased awareness of nature, a revival
    of classical learning, and a more individualistic view of man. Scholars no
    longer believe that the Renaissance marked an abrupt break
    with medieval values, as is suggested by the French word renaissance, literally
    “rebirth.” Rather, historical sources suggest that interest in nature, humanistic
    learning, and individualism were already present in the late medieval period
    and became dominant in 15th- and 16th-century Italy concurrently with social
    and economic changes such as the secularization of daily life, the rise of a
    rational money-credit economy, and greatly increased social mobility.
    The period from the 14th century to the 17th century in Europe is popularly called
    Renaissance, and it marked a rebirth or revival of classical learning and wisdom.
    The wave of renaissance touched upon many areas of European civilization,
    particularly the areas of art, religion, literature, and politics. Renaissance marked
    an increased awareness of nature, a revival in learning which was all present in
    the medieval period but became prominent in the 15th and 16th century.
    Renaissance art was all about the representation of an individual view of a man.
    The period of the Renaissance saw some glorious works of many legendary
    artists, which are still revered today.
    The painting Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci is one of the most famous and
    recognized paintings in history. Unarguably it is the most discussed painting
    because of the enigmatic smile. There have been many discussions about the
    smile of Mona Lisa, whether she is smiling or not. The major feature of this
    painting is that Da Vinci has painted her eyes in such a way that even when you
    change the angle of the view, the eyes of Mona Lisa seems to always follow you.
    The painting is done in oil on wood and is presently under the ownership of the
    Government of France. Mona Lisa is exhibited in Louvre, Paris and it belongs to
    the public, which means that it cannot be bought or sold.

    2. The word means spring in Italian. Primavera is a painting of Sandro Botticelli


    whose original name was Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi. The painting is also
    known as 'Allegory of Spring'. It is believed that Botticelli is created this piece of
    art around 1482 and is said to be one of the prime examples of Renaissance art.
    Many have attempted to interpret the painting and many have come up with
    explanations. Some say it is a mythical allegory while some say it is about the
    change of season into spring. This painting is popular because of the use of color
    and different explanations attached to it. Primavera is believed to be the most
    controversial painting in the world.
    Created in 1512, this is one of the iconic paintings of Michelangelo. The creation
    of Adam is the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Even though this is
    one of the most replicated paintings of all time, it is only second in popularity to
    Mona Lisa. The painting has become a symbol of humanity as the image depicts
    the hand of both God and Adam on the verge of touching.
