	WebMuseum: La Renaissance
		The term Renaissance, adopted from the French equivalent of the Italian word rinascita, meaning literally "rebirth," describes the radical and comprehensive changes that took place in European culture during the 15th and 16th centuries, bringing about the demise of the Middle Ages and embodying for the first time the values of the modern world.
		The term Renaissance, describing the period of European history from the early 14th to the late 16th century, is derived from the French word for rebirth, and originally referred to the revival of the values and artistic styles of classical antiquity during that period, especially in Italy.
		The later Renaissance was marked by a growth of bureaucracy, an increase in state authority in the areas of justice and taxation, and the creation of larger regional states.

	Renaissance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Italian Renaissance of the 15th century represented a reconnection of the west with classical antiquity, the absorption of knowledge (particularly mathematics), a focus on the importance of living well in the present (Renaissance humanism), and an explosion of the dissemination of knowledge brought on by the advent of printing.
		The Italian Renaissance was intertwined with the intellectual movement known as Renaissance humanism and with the fiercely independent and combative urban societies of the city-states of central and northern Italy in the 13th to 16th centuries.
		The music of the 15th century Burgundian School defined the beginning of the Renaissance in that art; and the polyphony of the Netherlanders, as it moved with the musicians themselves into Italy, formed the core of what was the first true international style in music since the standardization of Gregorian Chant in the 9th century.

	LoC / BnF : La Naissance de la Culture française - La Renaissance et le premier XVIIe siècle
		La conquête éclair de la ville de Gênes par Louis XII, en avril 1507, frappa les esprits comme un fait d'armes inouï, et suscita de nombreux écrits des chroniqueurs et des poètes de cour qui célébrèrent la gloire et la magnificence du roi.
		Empreinte de la solennité et du luxe qui conviennent à ce type de document qui doit aussi honorer le correspondant, elle est soigneusement calligraphiée en plusieurs écritures et encres de différentes couleurs, et ornée, après l'invocation d'usage et l'énoncé de la titulature du sultan, du monogramme impérial enluminé.
		La reine Catherine, veuve à quarante ans, ressentit durement son deuil et demeura vêtue de noir le reste de sa vie; son teint blême et son embonpoint frappaient les ambassadeurs, autant que son intelligence et son opiniâtreté.

		La plupart ignorent même qu'au deuxième étage, s'est déroulé le 25 novembre 1970 un épisode qui provoqua à travers le monde une stupéfaction mêlée d'horreur : le suicide par éventrement (seppuku), selon l'ancienne tradition des samouraïs, de l'un des plus célèbres écrivains de l'archipel, Yukio Mishima.
		En déplorant la perte par le souverain de son statut divin, en exaltant le rôle de l'armée impériale, en dénonçant les conséquences de la tutelle américaine, il embarrasse un pays condamné au pacifisme intégral par ses errements militaristes.

	Renaissance [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Renaissance is the name of the great intellectual and cultural movement of the revival of interest in classical culture that occurred in the fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth centuries -- a period which saw the transition from the Middle Ages to modern times.
		Traces of this revolt can be seen in Dante (1265- 1321), who, although thoroughly medieval in his sympathies, chose the Roman poet Virgil as his model, and who, in the vigour and magnificence of his own verse, was a striking contrast to his contemporaries and earlier medieval authors.
		The second period of the Renaissance is marked by a continued zeal for classical study, and by the developmental of a broad learning and the new view of the intellectual life which is now known as Humanism.

	Mark Harden's Artchive: "Renaissance"
		The concept enshrined in the word 'Renaissance' is actually one of rebirth rather than revival and carries with it the loaded, and absolutely discredited, argument that the Middle Ages was a dead period intellectually and artistically.
		Thus, the beginnings of Renaissance art in Italy should be recognizable by seeking out not only those artists who adopted motifs or borrowed models from antiquity, but also those who sought to represent the human figure and the material world more naturalistically than had their predecessors.
		It was not until this period that Italian Renaissance ideals began to spread in a significant way north of the Alps, Durer being the first northern artist to fully assimilate the ideals of the Renaissance into his work.

	WebMuseum: La Renaissance: Italy
		Central to the development of Renaissance art was the emergence of the artist as a creator, sought after and respected for his erudition and imagination.
		Because the essential characteristic of High Renaissance art was its unity--a balance achieved as a matter of intuition, beyond the reach of rational knowledge or technical skill--the High Renaissance style was destined to break up as soon as emphasis was shifted to favor any one element in the composition.
		Leonardo is considered the paragon of Renaissance thinkers, engaged as he was in experiments of all kinds and having brought to his art a spirit of restless inquiry that sought to discover the laws governing diverse natural phenomena.
