THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE
The Humanist spirit created a new artistic style, the Renaissance. This style originated in the small Italian states.
Artists could dedicate themselves exclusively to creation because they were maintained by patrons, who paid them for their work.
This artistic style was called Renaissance because there was a revival of Classical Greek and Roman culture.
