About this listen

The word "Renaissance" literally means "rebirth" in French, and that's exactly what it was: a rebirth of classical learning, culture, and values from ancient Greece and Rome. It was a European golden age that produced some of the most famous art and brilliant minds in history. It shifted the way people saw themselves and their place in the world, and it laid the foundation for the modern era.
