" The use of oil paints was important in Italy during the Renaissance as well as the printing press which came out of Germany. Italy, according to Muhlberger (1999) and specifically the city of Florence took the lead in "setting styles in thought, literary expression, art and education." The Renaissance was a "movement of self-assertion." (Muhlberger, 1999) in this work the two legacies of Petrarch are explained as well as the view of the humanists. The art of the renaissance is characterized by its "interest in the individual" as well as by the development of technique that made that depiction possible."
