Renaissance Concept Map: Key Branches

The Renaissance was a period in Europe, roughly the 14th to 17th centuries, when interest in classical learning, art and scientific observation grew. A Renaissance concept map usually divides into humanism (the study of classical texts), art (perspective, realism and new techniques), science (observation and new astronomy) and exploration (voyages and trade). Each branch links to key figures and changes.

  • Humanism: revival of classical Greek and Latin texts
  • Art: perspective, anatomy and oil painting
  • Science: observation, astronomy and printing
  • Exploration: voyages, trade and new maps
  • Politics: city-states, patronage and the Medici

Use the map to revise causes, key figures and dates before an exam. To build a version from your own lecture notes, try CogniGuide's AI mind map generator.
