Answer:
The correct answer is D. The Italian Renaissance.
Explanation:
The Italian Renaissance was the first period of the Renaissance period, when great changes took place in the culture of the people of Europe. It began with innovations in literature, architecture, and painting in the city-states of Florence and Siena in Tuscany, Italy, in the mid-1400s. Humanism drew inspiration from ancient philosophy and literature that the Roman Catholic Church had either ignored or distorted in favor of a Christian worldview based on inherited sin and a mystical immortal soul. Humanism, on the other hand, maintained an individualism and a rationalism based on the fact that man is good by nature. In art, there was a dominant image structure based on realistic proportions and distance, and emotional poses and facial expressions of characters. In architecture, the prevailing return was to the simplicity of classical Roman and Greek architecture with an emphasis on arches, colonnades and vaults, and the use of marble as a building material.
