"The renaissance was a time of transition, and many people made changes at that time. So it was a time of expiration and change, because there were explorers going out. There were wars going on that people made a difference. There were artists that became very famous during that time. Michaelangelo and Leonardo DiVinci were known as renaissance men.

And we think then of the renaissance."
