Renaissance Timeline and Lorenzo de Medici Influence
The Renaissance began in Italy during the 1300s and spread to nearby regions, ending in the 1600s. It revived interest in ancient Greece and Rome, with Italian city states ruled by local powers. Lorenzo de Medici, a major art patron, lived in the 1400s and supported artists as exploration expanded after Columbus reached America in 1492.
