Michelet's "Histoire de France" suggested the term Renaissance based on whose concept?

  • Botticelli

  • Da Vinci

  • Vasari

  • Michelet himself

Answer

The term Renaissance, meaning "rebirth," originated from Giorgio Vasari's concept in the book "Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects." Vasari used this term to describe the cultural and artistic revival in Europe during the 14th to 17th centuries, drawing inspiration from classical Greek and Roman art. The Renaissance emphasized the rediscovery of humanistic values, scientific advancements, and artistic achievements.
