The Renaissance Isn’t What You Think

from Room for Colours Hosted by Tina

Forget the lone geniuses and the sudden “rebirth” of Europe. The Renaissance began in a world already connected by trade, migration, technology and the movement of ideas. In this first episode, we look beyond Leonardo and Michelangelo to discover the networks linking Europe with Asia, Africa, Byzantium and the Islamic world—and ask what actually had to change before Renaissance art could happen. The Renaissance wasn’t born in a studio. It was born in a connected world.
