Continuos Renaissance

I know perfectly that Renaissance is about art history from 15^th century to second half of 16^th century, and after the style of three principal arts has changed; but I want remark that the Renaissance, that is when man found herself is a very easy interpretation, this is trivial, because we can speak about the social class that has become important, differently from Middle age men were set to classes and Renaissance set men through method but now man is considered to his possibility and capacities, now this spirit of age is evident, now is manifest, and we can understand this opinion from threats that are written by artists. These social class is very humble and poor, Giotto and Arnolfo di Cambio and Nicola Pisano, painter and sculptors didn’t write a threat during Middle age, because certainly economic support wasn’t sufficient for this experience, but Cennino Cennini, Florentine painter at 14^th and 15^th wrote about 1390 and 1437 his threat about painting art. This is possible because painting has took importance, because economic support was very relevant because markets were very rich, and much families wanted their chapels, then painters were important, and now painter is relevant; but it is alone start this is the painter is important from glamour of families, but his social class is inferior and very modest; but during 16^th century, through Lives of Giorgio Vasari, we can understand how much artist has become important; in fact during a dinner in residence of cardinal Alessandro Farnese(1520-1589), Paolo Giovio(1483-1552) an Italian monsignor proposed idea for the Lives because, written Vasari: “While we speak about a thing and other, as we make thinking monsignor Giovio said that he wanted set among his Elogia, this is Virorum bellica virtute illustrium and Virorum literis illustrium… a threat that has told about artist men for drawing art from Cimabue until to our day…”. It is  very important step, because it is manifest interest to a social class become very important, because next to men of arms and men of literature, now artist are considered regardless of class, but alone for their capacities in art, and this is possible both because art is important and man is important, we must consider that no every men are now important because they are artist, but this desire of Paolo Giovio is indicative for a spirit and opinion that now rewards other qualities. If we consider that opinion we can think that who not were considered because member of social class very low, as artists, now is important; Raphael Sanzio(1483-1520) was buried in Pantheon and Michelangelo(1475-1564) now buried in Santa Croce, but he was buried in roman church of Saint Apostles in Rome, his body was kidnapped by Florentine team and it was brought to Florence to prestige of his importance would give to city, but Michelangelo was a people man, but his qualities were admired everywhere, then his importance was very important for glamour of city, but he was always an artist; then we can remark that individual qualities, as Roman empire, were important. A digression after hint to Roman empire; in ancient Rome neither race, origin or class, but everybody can become important because he has qualities, and during Roman empire this is important no certainly class. Now we consider personal qualities and no certainly class, but Renaissance is ended, certainly but humankind is present.
