What period in the history of Europe is called the Renaissance? Why?

The Renaissance period is usually called the time frame from the XIV to the beginning of the XVII centuries. In turn, the Renaissance is divided into several periods – Proto-Renaissance, Earlier, High and Late Renaissance. The very concept of the Renaissance means the return and revival of the values of Antiquity. This period of history is characterized by the secularity of culture, its humanization, a turn towards anthropocentrism, when the person himself is placed in the center of the universe. In the same period, interest in ancient culture also increased.
