Renaissance, meaning rebirth, in Italy was largely and urban society. This created the growing curiosity of culture which affected both politics and art. Trade continued to flourish after the Italian city-states had grown. Milan Venice and Florence were the three main city-states in northern Italy. Niccolo Machiavelli wrote a book called The Prince expressing his political views. He said that you must understand human nature. He was the first to abandon the views of morality. An important intellectual movement of the renaissance was humanism which was based on the classic process of writing. Petrarch had been called the father of the Renaissance often as he had put the humanist emphasis on using pure Latin. Much of this had been rewritten in vernacular literature or the language of the region.

The renaissance had also been a time where art had been known to capture the realistic qualities in life. A style of painting, fresco, had been created. This is where the three dimension style had been mastered. Sculpture was very common where humans were the main topic. Classical columns and rounded arches were a design that would be used all around the world.

Reformation is the term given to Christianity as it becomes split into parts. The original idea of Desiderius Grasmus and his followers, with the goal of reformation to the church, was not intent to break away from the church which later was the result. By 1520, Luther (began Reformation)had begun to move toward a more definite break with the catholic church. Luther had come to believe that doing good deeds does not bring salvation to you but the belief in god himself will. The church was unable to accept his ideas, excommunicating him in January 1521.the new church became known as Lutheran. John Calvin began preaching predestination or “the eternal decree” as he called it. This means that one’s afterlife had already been predetermined. This became known as Calvinism.
