What was the Renaissance?
The Dark Ages lasted for hundreds of years, as
many generations of individuals lived and
died in these terrible conditions. Then, in the
mid 1300s A.D., things slowly began to
improve. People began again to discover the
arts and technologies of the Romans and
Greeks, making life a little easier. We call this
period of time the Renaissance. The
Renaissance began around 1350 A.D. in Italy,
and continued until about 1600 A.D.
Italy is part of Europe

Was it an artist?
In the Renaissance, master artists did all of
these things.
Artist to Master Even though the artists were now masters, they had to create art that
would make a living. They painted banners, made silverware, decorated
furniture, designed buildings, and more…
What would you do?
If you could hire an artist, what would you
have them make?

Serving Customers
Artists were paid to produce exactly what
the customer wanted. Without a
customer, an artist would not be able to
make a living.
Customers most often paid for the
creation of art to glorify God, glorify their
city and to commemorate themselves.
