Renaissance = a time of rebirth in learning, science, and the arts throughout Europe in the 14th century and extending to the 17th century, marking the transition from the medieval to the modern world. The Catholic Church lost its grip on society and a humanist spirit was born. This spirit manifested itself in the painting and sculpture of Michelangelo, the plays of Shakespeare, and in both the sacred and secular dance and vocal music of the greatest composers of the era.
