The Renaissance was a period in European history marking the transition from the Middle Ages to Modernity and covering the 15th and 16th centuries. It occurred after the Crisis of the Late Middle Ages. In addition to the standard periodization, proponents of a long Renaissance put its beginning in the 14th century and its end in the 17th century.
