The Renaissance
Period (1350-1550) was the transition period between the Medieval Era and the
modern world. The word renaissance means "revival" or "rebirth". This was a period
of great achievements in the arts and sciences combined with deep religious concerns.
The Renaissance became one of the most productive periods in all history.
