This program discusses the Renaissance from several aspects.  It begins with the historical background necessary to understand its emergence in the early 1300s.  Medieval, classical and Renaissance approaches to art are presented along with the rediscovery of the glories of classical Roman and Greek culture.

The second half of the program focuses on the later developments of the Renaissance.  The impact of enormous changes that took place in science, invention, architecture, exploration and religious reform are examined for this pivotal era of world history.
