The renaissance era profoundly affected European intellectual life. the Renaissance could be viewed as an attempt by intellectuals to study and improve the secular and worldly, both through the revival of ideas from antiquity, and through novel approaches to thought. Early Renaissance, mostly in Italy, bridges the art period during the fifteenth century, between the Middle Ages and the High Renaissance in Italy.

The art that these artist produced did speek to many people and still do because they didn't have words but still spoke to them. The paintings spoke emotion and feeling. Paintings such as these two by famous painters Leonardo and Michelangelo speek great emotion. The two off to the left speaks to me because its of a young girl and she looks peaceful. She looks as though she is pondering life. It speaks to me because I am a young girl. I ponder life all the time and so it speaks to me on more of a personal level. Now about the painting on the right this one also speaks to me because its a picture of the last supper. I am very involved in my church and so this has more of a spiritual connection to me. When I look at this painting I look at every detail because I wonder what it would be like to go through a last supper like that. I picture what they would look like and so I look at what the painter though it would be like. It just brings emotion from deep down inside and I think thats exactly what the artist of this time period were aiming for.
