I. The Italian Renaissance Intellectual movement began in Italy in 14th c. 2 key characteristics: 1. extreme hostility to culture of Middle Ages 2. fascination with the ancient world Renaissance was the first, to use the term "Dark Ages" to describe the period after the fall of Rome. Why might they have used the term Dark ages? Fascination with the ancient civilizations led to an increasing literacy in Latin &Greek

Italian Renaissance cont. Main emphasis of Renaissance centered around individual & potential of human nature Initially, was restricted to small group of educated elites (upper class), but it spread out to other social classes Renaissance marks the beginning of the modern world

II. Why did it begin in Italy? Northern Italian cities led way in economic revival of 12th & 13th c. - art flourishes in a society with $$$ Florence, especially, at end of 13th c. became bankers to the pope Italian middle classes wanted to ‘show off’ pride in their city states Nobles lived in cities, so ideas could spread more rapidly than in isolated manors of northern Europe

Paintings became popular because cheaper to produce than mosaics III. Art Paintings became popular because cheaper to produce than mosaics Gold leaf that adorned paintings of Middle Ages disappeared & cost of paintings decreased More people able to display art, thus increasing social status
