About 500 years ago
Europe went through a period of exciting change as people awoke to the
wonders of our world and to the ideas and ideals of ancient
Greece and Rome. We will
explore the reasons for this and the changes in art brought as
thinkers and artists moved
from focusing on the soul and the spiritual world to an interest in people and the physical
world. The changes made by Renaissance artists remained at the core
of Western art for centuries.
