The Renaissance aesthetic had an enormous influence on the development of the world's literature and art. What is the Renaissance as the era? The word itself means “reborn” and has Italian and French roots. This time, prior to culture of New time, comes to replace the Middle ages.
Approximate time frame – from 14 to 17 century in different countries in different ways. The main difference from other eras – secular culture and its appeal to humans (anthropocentrism). With new power comes to the culture of Antiquity. There is a kind of its revival. Hence the term. He appears already in the 19th century. Into use it was introduced by French politician Jules Michelet. In the figurative sense of the word Renaissance means a metaphorical cultural revival, a term applied to any era.
The Definition of the Renaissance as a new cultural paradigm has emerged due to global changes in the public life of Europe at that time. Came the fall of Byzantium, and some of the inhabitants of this state fled to Europe, taking with him numerous libraries and works of art. Among them – many ancient sources that were hitherto unknown in Europe of the Middle ages. With the formation and growth of cities-States, the emergence of classes of free artisans gradually destroyed the system of values, a certain medieval culture (mainly – the Church, addressed to God, ascetic and humble). The first signs of humanism, which considered the identity of the person in the first place, appealed to his freedom, active creative activity of the individual.
