What Was The True Renaissance Man
As the Renaissance arose in Italy in the fifteenth century, it sparked an interest in the past cultures of Greece and Rome as well as science, art, architecture, literature, and philosophy. Greek and Roman archives were used to adjust and advance government structure and philosophy at the time. In a way, this revival also introduced an interest in the human capacity and marvel – also known as the humanist movement. The true Renaissance man – a prime example being Leonardo da Vinci – was able to perform well in an array of academic and human pursuits which facilitated a unanimous drive throughout Europe to observe and study as much of the world as they are able – to live life to the fullest – a goal also derived from life during The Black Death.
