One of the key aspects of the Renaissance was its revival of ancient ideas, beginning in Italy, the heart of the old Roman Empire. The time period following the Middle Ages of Europe saw a focus on the humanities, a return to the classical thoughts of the Ancient Greek philosophers, and new art styles and practices. Within that roughly 2-century-long period, there is a lot to study: from methods of painting, sculpture, and architecture, to artists, patrons, and philosophers.
