	Exhibits Collection -- Renaissance
		"Renaissance," French for "rebirth," perfectly describes the intellectual and economic changes that occurred in Europe from the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries.
		Also, and perhaps most importantly, the Renaissance was an age in which artistic, social, scientific, and political thought turned in new directions.
		Join us as we explore the Renaissance and discover the forces that drove this rebirth in Europe, and in Italy in particular.

	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.html
		The Renaissance was defined by an increased focus on optimism and the dignity of man, as opposed to the medieval, religious-based pessimism.
		Much Renaissance art was religious in theme, but the Renaissance moved intellectually away from the man-is-nothing-without-God mentality of the Middle Ages to emphasize the human spirit.
		The ideal Renaissance man was a master of art and literature, a scholar and inventor, as well as physically graceful and talented in all the social arts —he strove for perfection in man (as Michaelangelo's David sculpture was trying to represent the perfect human form).

	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.

		When a beautiful young Avalon scientist is kidnapped, her sister and an intrepid cop break the rules and slip into the shadowy Parisian underworld to find her.
		On whatever serves as that future world's movie screens, they probably watch a lot of films that look like "Renaissance." Using technology that was unavailable just a few years ago, director Christian Volckman has created an engrossing high-tech amalgam of film noir melancholy, sci-fi speculation, graphic novel fantasy, motion-capture animation and computer-generated imagery.
		"Renaissance" combines the future-shock of "Metropolis," the dark romance of "Casablanca" and the subterfuge of "The Third Man," while taking a step beyond the once groundbreaking motion-capture technology of "Waking Life," "The Polar Express" and the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel.

	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.

	Renaissance - Cunnan
		The renaissance itself can be identified with the rise of Humanism which began in Italy with authors such as Boccaccio and Petrarch in the 14th century and ran through the 15th century with Erasmus and many others, and into the High Renaissance period of the 16th century when Mannerism became prevalent.
		The second half of the Renaissance is also the period of the Reformation, although it could be argued that the conflict between Humanism and Scholasticism, which was very much the footprint of the Renaissance, was also the starting point for the Reformation.
		Although the Renaissance was a time of significant change in comparison to the Middle Ages, there were times of both peace and prosperity, and war, disease and famine.

	Lecture 1: Renaissance Portraits (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The expression "Renaissance" is a value-charged expression because it carries with it a whole series of connotations that go beyond just the simple meaning of "rebirth." The expression "Dark Ages" is also value-charged.
		In this view then, the Renaissance was a profound act of rebellion and in the wake of protest, a new world was likely to emerge.
		So, it is fairly safe to say that the Renaissance, its cultural and intellectual merits considered together, placed a premium upon the individual and the capacity of the individual for improvement.
