    The Renaissance was a period of cultural, artistic, political, and scientific "rebirth" that began in Italy in the late 13th century and later spread to the rest of Europe. Key aspects included a revival of interest in ancient Greek and Roman art, philosophy, and scholarly traditions, facilitated by newly available ancient texts and the influx of Greek scholars to Western Europe following the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The Renaissance produced many renowned works and artists, including Michelangelo's David sculpture, works by Leonardo Da Vinci such as the Mona Lisa and Vitruvian Man, and Raphael's Resurrection of Christ painting. The English Renaissance began in the 16th century and is reflected chiefly in literature
