This module explores the transformative period of the European Renaissance (14th–17th centuries), a time of remarkable cultural, intellectual, and artistic rebirth that reshaped Europe’s social, political, and religious landscapes. Students will examine key developments in literature, philosophy, visual arts, science, and humanism, with a focus on major figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Erasmus, and Machiavelli. The course emphasizes the Renaissance's roots in classical antiquity, its diffusion across Europe, and its lasting impact on modern Western thought and institutions. Through a multidisciplinary lens, learners will engage critically with primary sources and historiographical debates to understand the Renaissance not just as a cultural moment, but as a catalyst for profound historical change.
