Answer:
Renaissance art was heavily influenced by classical art, wrote Virginia Cox in “A Short History of the Italian Renaissance.” Artists turned to Greek and Roman sculpture, painting and decorative arts for inspiration and also because their techniques meshed with Renaissance humanist philosophy.
The Renaissance could not have started in Greece. By the 15th century, Greece was a backwater in stagnation with no remarkable achievements in the spheres of art, literature, architecture, or politics. Its primary position as the centre of the civilised world was all but a distant memory following the Roman occupation and invasion of the era before the birth of Christ. Greece never recovered from that.
The conditions that were present in Italy at the time were impossible to recreate in Greece. Even if the dual threats of Papal armies and those of the Holy Roman Emperor were not enough, prosperity and trade with each other was certainly a reason for a temporary peace between warring city-states such as Florence and Venice. International trade, too, was lucrative, and the region of Lazio [where Rome is situated] specialised in the trade of religion.
It is not that what is now Italy had stagnated in the pre-Renaissance period. Dante wrote The Divine Comedy towards the dawn of the fourteenth century. The Italians were making magnificent Gothic churches — S. Maria del Fiore in Florence started off as one, with a Gothic campanile [bell tower/bellfry] by the Gothic master Giotto but finished as a Renaissance building.
The relative prosperity across the region that is now considered to be the hotbed of the Italian Renaissance also came with patronage. The Catholic Church under Julius II of the della Rovere family were major patrons of the arts and humanities, especially with artists, musicians, and writers who curried their favour. The patronage was significant in both monetary and reputational terms — a commission for St. Peter’s or St. Paul’s, the apostolic basilicas, was more valuable for the artist’s worth in the art market than any other. Christianity provided the only semblance of pan-European and pan-regional power and order; without the Catholic Church’s unstinting support of the arts and humanities none of those fields would exist as we know them today.
