The Renaissance was a period of time when talented persons renewed roots and established many forms of art. It was a major turning point for religion and arts which started in the 14th century or so. It was what most people remembered as coming out of the Middle Ages. A lot of reforms and dramatic events occurred during the Renaissance because it was time of rebirth of the Ancient Greek and Roman cultures. Many artists found themselves in some of the best places painting and sculpting for the renowned people. They made new art styles that flourished with Italian techniques. The events that occurred during the Renaissance helped inspire the art of some of the best artists whose art became very famous, and that changed the look on art for generations.
Some of those most famous artist included Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo Di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, Donato Di Niccolò Di Betto Bardi, and Raffaello Sanzio Da Urbino. Da Vinci, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo inspired many people throughout the height of the Renaissance, including each other. The movement of the pieces and the anatomy of the people seen in the artworks by those artists were brand new, and created controversy due to the more realistic and intricate science ideas put into the artwork. The church found the art threatening because of the ideas leading away from the religious beliefs that they had been teaching for a long time. All of the artists of that time period had to work around everything that was going on then.
The reforms were taking place to keep or change the way that art and beliefs had always been. Within those reforms those artist started to display and share their artwork along with the ideas that came with them, and people started to pick sides as to what they would start to do with their culture and beliefs. Different attempts to save the way religion use to be were made. Churches began to reform. High religious leaders started to sell indulgences. Those indulgences were a way of keeping the churches afloat in the chaos that was erupting at the time. The churches also translated the Bibles and other religious books. Churches did that so that the majority could not read them. Doing that allowed the priest, popes and others religious powers to continue their control because the people of those places were unable to read the books to know if what the churches said was the truth.
The artists of that time came into play because they were challenging the rest of society with new ideas, structures, and forms of conflicting artwork. The Renaissance was a crucial time period that, if missed, would have made the discoveries and things of today a lot slower and possibly unobtainable. Through the events that occurred during that time and the artists and leaders involved, the world has come into the level of success, progress and exploratory personality of today. The Renaissance bettered the world, and people still continue to look back on and learn from the Renaissance and the talented artists who explored art further than most would have had.
