UMA REFLEXÃO DO MOVIMENTO CULTURAL RENASCENTISTA E SUAS VARIÁVEIS EM REGIÕES DISTINTAS DA EUROPA

Since the Renaissance was marked by great development in all areas of society, emerging as a counterpoint to the medieval and theocentric thought that prevailed until then, this article aims to highlight the importance of the artistic and cultural movement of the Renaissance and its variations and influences throughout Europe, in a period of transition from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age. The cultural aspects of the Renaissance are briefly characterized, highlighting the concept of humanism. In addition, the variables of the artistic and intellectual movement are analyzed according to its location in Europe, with distinctions between the influences present in Florence and other European regions. Individualism, anthropocentrism and humanism are considered pillars of the movement in question, corroborating the valorization of the bourgeoisie as a social class, which in turn also drove and financed the Renaissance movement.
