Explanation:

Renaissance is the name given to a great movement of cultural change that reached the urban strata of Western Europe between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries, characterized by the resumption of the values of Greco-Roman culture, that is, of classical culture. This moment is considered as an important period of transition involving capitalist feudal structures.

The basis of this movement was provided by a reigning philosophical current, humanism, which dismissed the hitherto predominant medieval scholasticism and proposed a return to the virtues of antiquity. Plato, Aristotle, Virgil, Seneca, and other Greco-Roman authors begin to be translated and rapidly disseminated.
