THE DEVELOPMENT OF CULTURE AND ART IN EUROPE IN THE 14TH AND 15TH CENTURIES
Abstract
This study explores the development of culture and art in Europe during the 14th and 15th centuries, a period marked by the emergence of humanism and the transition from medieval to Renaissance ideals. Key findings highlight the influence of classical antiquity on literature and art, with figures like Petrarch and Boccaccio reshaping literary expression, while artists such as Giotto and Leonardo da Vinci pioneered techniques that emphasized realism and emotional depth. Technological advancements, particularly the printing press, facilitated the spread of humanist ideas, contributing to a shared cultural awareness. This era laid the groundwork for the profound cultural flourishing of the Renaissance.
