before the renaissance art and daily life revolved around religion. when the rennaissance came about religion was less focused on and life as a human, men just as they are became most important. life became more natural and the idea that man don't have to be saints to be good people arose. the renaissance was a time of expression. BUT the renaissance was and 'elite' movement. meaning that only the very rich could experience and gain from it, it did not reach everyone since it was a very lavish lifstyle.
the renaissance focused more on Humanism, humanists would study ancient texts in the original, and appraise them through a combination of reasoning and empirical evidence.
how it revolutionized art was that there was a developement of perspective. and painters would study light and shadow and make the painting real and natural.
along with humanism came a more secular idealism. where religion is not everything.
but even though the rennaissance brought all these new humanist and secuarlist ideas of thinking, itt took a very long time for this kind of thiking to be the main kind of thinking since it was only and elite movement and not a mass movement. very few experience the renaissance. even though it spread all over Europe only the truly lucky could embellish in its wonderments
