The Renaissance was a cultural revitalization that spread across Europe, and had repercussions across the globe, but one smallish city-state in Italy was in many ways the epicenter of the thing. Florence, or as Italians might say, Firenze, was the home to a seemingly inordinate amount of the art, architecture, literature, and cultural output of the Renaissance. Artists like Michelangelo, Leonardo daVinci, Sandro Boticelli, and many others were associated with the city, and the money of patrons like the Medici family made a lot of the art possible. Today you’ll learn about how the Renaissance came to be, and what impact it had on Europe and the world.

The talking speed is so unusual that i had to make it faster to sound normal for John
2:00 question here at crash course:
Was the Renaissance really a thing? Was it in fact just a continuation of the medieval world?
Or was it the dramatic change that Renaissance thinkers believed it to be?
2019: "It's almost like people always feel like they live in the worst time"
2022: "No no, he's got a point"
who's here for history class
Comparing John Green 7 years back in US history, it looks like he became old very fast in the past years. The smile is still warm but less energetic. Kinda concerned.
Still love the course he provides. Hopefully he's doing well.

Medici: Masters of Florence is a dramatized but not half-bad depiction of Renaissance Florence
Thank you so much John green! Love the videos!! And what a great goal to give out high quality education for free!!!
Green, you're an idiot.
the reason people dont paint neo-classical monuments is because of white supremacist ideas of "white" people being better so they used white marble to show that. although we know thats not true.
Ich verstehe aufjedenfall alles.
greeks painted their statues, romans did not – they concentrated on materials, factures and textures
Why is the fourth Ninja Turtle called Donatello and not Botticelli?
Good luck today folks
euro ap exam crammer gang?
radshyguy said marinara sauce in your honor
You can complain about how fast he is talking now but we all know he is still better than 90% of teachers and professors we will ever have
I'm out here watching this entire series to prepare for AP exam tomorrow
Typical self-superiority looking down his nose and trying to deligitimize anything noble that was attached to Europeans. In this way, he feels superior to everone who existed in the past. Even twists around the money not hoarded by the wealthy or used for their own personal lavishness and instead spent a lot of it to improve public places and buildings and living spaces and then he stuck his own arrogant nose high in the air to find a way to condemn them. In doing this, he believes his virtual signaling will allow him to not only perch far above others simply through condemnation but also help guarantee peaceful living among his fellow haters.
he is so bad and he talks so fast like chill
Okay I’m almost certain that compared to modern day standards this is the worst it can be.
He talks much slower
Past John: Mr. Green! Mr. Green!
Present John: I'm sorry, all I heard was "bar bar bar."
0:14 there is a man and a sheep in a interesting position
Hello!
This is great, thank you!
who else is doing this for school?
The greatest impact of renaissance is nostalgia.
