The word "renaissance" means rebirth, and thus the use of the term inevitably yields the question, rebirth of what? Against the backdrop of history and chronology—when does the Renaissance begin and when does it end?—this course explores some of the key events that help push its layers of transformative thinking. Writers and artists whose work we will consider are Dante, Petrarch, Boccaccio, Pico della Mirandola, and Machiavelli; Duccio, Giotto, Masaccio, Donatello, Piero della Francesca, Verrocchio, Botticelli, Leonardo DaVinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, Parmigianino, and Veronese—among others.
