The thinkers and artists of the Renaissance combined the Christian aspiration for spirituality with the ancient Greek hope for the world of earthly beauty: they left humanity with unsurpassed examples of inspired artistic works and illuminated the path for European art in subsequent centuries.
From then on and forever, "man desires to be everywhere... He measures heaven and earth, explores the dark abysses of Tartarus. The sky does not seem too high to him, nor does the center of the earth seem too deep to him... No barrier obscures or hinders his insight. No limits satisfy him. He strives to rule everywhere, to be exalted everywhere. And thus he strives to be omnipresent like God." Thus wrote the great philosopher Marcelino Ficchino, head of the Florentine Platonic Academy and contemporary of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael, about the Renaissance. The world of the Renaissance is profound and diverse; The dark events of history are intertwined with upsurges of the spirit, tragic destinies are illuminated by achievements that endure through the centuries. The genius of the Renaissance merely revealed to us its innumerable treasures.
