"Renaissance is French and was coined as a term in the late 19th century. In regard to art movements like the Italian Renaissance, the word is used to illustrate an intellectually based artistic revival that has been inspired by the study of existing Classical literature or art. The entire Renaissance movement originated in Italy around the beginning of the fourteenth century. The movement ran through the beginning of the sixteenth century after making its way through various other European countries.
The origins of the Renaissance can be tied to social and political movements of the time.

The period was full of turmoil as there were many minor wars for internal or external commercial control as well as many political expansion attempts."
