By the 11th century Europe started to recover and by the 1300's it was already in a golden age. All of Europe was under a system of feudalism, however things were changing in Italy. • The north of Italy is divided into independent city states under the rule of despots and assemblies of oligarchs who are constantly competing among themselves. One area of competition is art and scholarship. Early Humanists like Dante, Giotto and Petrarch are early beneficiaries of this patronage. • The word Humanism comes from the Humanists interest in the humanities and their love of antiquity. At the same time this cultural shift is happening, society in Northern Italy is throwing off the bonds of feudalism and is becoming more and more individualistic. Men like Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Brunelleschi find fertile ground for their art under the patronage of the Medici. • While Italian Humanists are fascinated with the moral superiority of antiquity, Northern Humanists are more interested in the Bible. With the same social changes happening in Northern Europe, this inevitably leads to the Protestant Reformation. • This ultimately leads to a conservative reaction, however with the printing press, capitalism and a divided Europe, the spirit of the Renaissance is unstoppable; leading to the Enlightenment and ultimately our current world. • Bibliography: • Jeffries, J J (2007).
