| Leonardo da Vinci's Self-Portrait, circa 1512 |
Renaissance literally means to be born again, or rebirth. It was a period of cultural awakening spanning from the 1400s to the 1600s, originating in the Italian city of Florence. The Renaissance period saw many artists gaining prominence, from Michelangelo to William Shakespeare. Not only did this movement inspire great works of art and architecture, but also political upheaval and religious revolution.
