Explanation:

The Renaissance was at the same time a historical period and a cultural, intellectual and artistic movement that emerged in Italy between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries and reached its apex in the sixteenth century.

This period was called the Renaissance because of the intense revaluation of the references of Classical Antiquity, which guided a progressive slowing down of the influence of religious dogmatism and mysticism on culture and society, with a concomitant and growing appreciation of rationality, science and nature. In this process the human being moved away from secularism and was clothed with a new dignity and placed in the center of Creation, and for that reason the main stream of thought of this period was given the name of humanism.
