ARTH2710 Lecture 02 Legacy of the Renaissance and Early Italian Renaissance Part 1

Travis Lee Clark
Utah Valley University

This is the first part of the second lecture of the second part of my Western Art Survey (Um..yeah that's right.) In this lecture we discuss what we mean when we say "Renaissance" and if there really WAS a Renaissance or not. Then we go into the beginnings of the Early Italian Renaissance in the 14th C. (or Trecento in Italian, even though "Renaissance" is a French word. Cuz...reasons. Fritalian! Art Historians had it before Starbucks!) We also talk (briefly) about Leonardo's pet lizard and explain why all the Ninja Turtles are named wrong. Enjoy!
