Middle Ages Humanism vs. Western Civilization?

Question

How did the medieval view of Humanism... impact Western Civilization?

what events were important? and what people had important impacts?

Answer 1

I'm thinking of the Renaissance....the introduction of classical thought and culture to Europe.

A lot of people had important impacts. Artists, writers, theologians, etc. etc. all impacted this era of history.

My suggestion is to take a good look at Medieval religious art and then look at Renaissance religious art and note the differences. Usually, humanistic art will depict Jesus in a more "realistic" fashion than Medieval art.
