FRENCH RENAISSANCE ERA 2

French Renaissance Era

French renaissance is a term that is used in reference to the artistic and cultural

movement that took place in France between the 15

and the 17

century. This is also a period

that is closely associated with the Pan-European renaissance which is a reference to the cultural

rebirth of Europe as a continent. The renaissance brought with it a great deal of developments in

France and other parts of Europe (Merriman, 2010).

Some of the most notable developments that occurred during the French renaissance are

the exploration of the so-called New World and the spread of the ideology of humanism. There

were also some notable improvements in different facets of life and professionalism that

included painting, architecture, printing, music, literature and the sciences. Changes in social

norms, etiquette and communal discourse were also common (Merriman, 2010).

With the renaissance era came a high degree of nationalism that was accompanied by

increases in trade links and cooperation. Power and wealth of the absolute monarchy at the time

resulted in the influx of Italian ideologies and the bringing of the renaissance era live to France.

At the time, Italians had a major influence in the manner in which the French would adopt the

entire idea of renaissance and the transformation of their way of life (Merriman, 2010).

One of the most notable aspects about the French renaissance era is that it transformed

the native naïve picturesque of Gothic into more of an academic formality. As much as during

this time the French were making use of Italian elements, those elements were integrated into the

French way of life and thus ended up becoming essentially French. There was great

development from the norm of life here at the time (Dalrymple, 2005).
