Renaissanceblogger.org For Art Lovers

We all learned at school that Renaissance influenced greatly intellectual life and culture of the next generations. It is considered to be the time of new ideas, philosophies and inventions. The time when the most astonishing buildings were erected, most part of famous pictures were painted and grand sculptures were created. The time of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, Sandro Botticelli and Michelangelo Buonarroti.

But there are also people who suppose that this period was not so perfect as we get used to read about this in the books. They say that was the time of the Wars of Religion, the corruption of Popes and witch-hunts. A period of deep economic recession, but not "golden age". Well, of course, it is not so easy to determine what was the life several centuries ago and probably we don't need to do this.

We can admire these grandiose cathedrals and astonishing pictures, read books and watch films about that famous epoch and just have a good time traveling around the world and visiting the centers of Renaissance. All art lovers should visit such famous city as Florence - the origin of Renaissance. Moreover, Italy is considered to be the country which is associated with that period of time the most of all. Its culture, language and just people seem to reflect that time.

You should not visit different museums or something like that. All the pieces of art you can see just travel around the country. Of course, visit the capital of Italy and don't forget to take several pictures. Just look at them when you arrive at home and the beauty and grandeur of these pieces of art will be more astonishing for you. Because it can be asserted that this country is the cradle of world culture! Just travel Italy and make sure!
