<span>The term renaissance typically refers to the European Renaissance, which spans the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. The European Renaissance originated in Italy and quickly spread throughout Europe and was marked by political stability, as well as the significant advancements in areas such as technology, culture, art, and others. There is controversy in the meaning, as it is typically explained as a time of great progressive values shared by all. In fact, the renaissance, particularly between the late 14th century and the mid 15th century, was marked by general air of "againstness", as explained by Bob Duggan at Big Think.

As most of the artists of the renaissance are known for their work with the Church, the idea of religious art is seen as one of the first areas effected by the change.</span>

Smuggling further developed with the introduction of larger smuggling gangs, such as the Hawkhurst Gang in Kent who operated on a far greater scale than previous smugglers. The leaders of this gang were caught and hung, however the authorities found it hard to tackle the crime of smuggling.
This was because smuggling was a social crime- people benefitted from the cheaper goods smuggled and so did not see it as wrongdoing, they even viewed smugglers as heroes in some areas. As a result, local communities would help to conceal smugglers rather than report them.
