 * The Renaissance**

I have chosen to write about the renaicansse, the renaissance was between the 13th and the 15th century. I have focused on the renaissance, because I thought it was interessting. It began in Italy and then spread over to Europe.
 * Introduction**

The word renaissance means rebirth and is a frensh word. The renaissance is the period of the Middle Ages ended and ancient cultural heritag is said to have revived. The renaissance was between the late 13th century to the late 15th century and was based in particular from Italy. It inculeds especially art and literature, that was spread by printing from the late 14th century. During the 19th centurys last decades the perception of the renaicansse changed; historians now emphasizes that there was a strong expansion of scientific, artistic and economic activity in the western europe from the 1100th century. It was therefore not a sharp break but a part of a development. The rebirth of theeology, literature, science and art began with the rediscovery of ancient text in Latin and Greek. These text had been forgotten in the west since the collapse of the Roman Empire. In the begining of the renaicansse these text was taken from scholars in the Byzantine Empire and from monasteries around Europe.
 * The main part**

In the late period of the renaicansse, when the reformation made inroads, the scholars began to prefer newly discovered material in Hebrew and Aramaic in the Greek and biblical sources, wich aroused such entusiasm at the beginning of the peroid. This epoch has been described as the periods when man discovered himself, when the individual was released from the Roman Catholic Church. Because of that people think that the Middle Ages was a peroid when the indivudal was under the rules of the church and the king. People also thinks that we were generally superstitious because of the lack of knowledge we had. To prove that that is untrue we have highlighted the renaicannse polymath such as Leonardo Da Vinci (who was an artist), Filippo Brunelleshi (who was an architect), Alberti(who was an arttheroist, goldsmith, sculptor and architect) and Michelangelo Buonarroti (who was a poet, architect, artist and sculptor.). In recent years it has increasingly sought to highlight the similarities between epochs and see the transition between them as a continuous process. On the Gothic cathedrals, several examples of direct influences from ancient times, and now it has emerged that several achievements in the past been attributed to the renaissance from earlier eras. Rather than emphasize ancient passion of the renaissance has begun aimed at social, economic and political factors. When the hoof began to open their eyes for printing more ideas could spread more quickly between cities. Many young men who wanted to be artisans, like many of the artists was under the renaicansse, they had to be with a master for a long time.

The art reserved its position of opposition against the church. The major client was a long time and for a long time to come the church, but then in 1400 - and 1500- it began increasing number of orders that come from individuals, first of all kings, as well as individual priests. Later on different communities began to get involved in society's common questions. Many researchers have pointed out that even during the Renaissance, most themes were religious. The most common reason for ordering was piety and pastoral care. But then became interior architecture of the rich and portrait orders from ordinary people and not just the rich, the main sources of income for artists. They were important, partly because the themes were secular and therefore more open to the ancient motives than the ecclesiastical orders, and also because it was based on a formed layer of society that was interested in such mythology. Thereafter, the artists had a very different support than before.
