new ways to see the world.

Rediscovering the Past

• The popularity of the humanities was due to a new interest in ancient history.

• Many of the works were thought to be ancient classical writings, works by Greek or Roman thinkers.

• Italian scholars wanted to revive subjects that the Greeks and Romans had studied.

• Other sources of inspiration were Roman ruins and fine classical statues.
