(A Discussion of The Three Key Points of The Renaissance)
"The Renaissance of the fifteenth century was, in many things, great by what it designed than by what it achieved," Walter Pater. It was in the fifteenth century that the Renaissance, or rebirth of many things culturally happened in Italy and then gradually grew throughout Europe. This rebirth happened as a direct result of the fall of the Roman Empire, which led Europe into a period of decline, they called this the "Dark Ages" (Basic Ideas of the Renaissance).

In her article Kimberly Abruzzo states, "With the Renaissance came an increasing divide between science and religion as a new era of discovery swept through Europe," (Abruzzo). This new era of discovery came about as people started exploring more in depth in the scientific field of things rather than the religious side. Although some transitioned to this new perspective, there were still those who strictly believed in their religious views and they didn 't waver throughout the
