The Renaissance was the time when many things changed, but of all of them, one of the most important was the artwork. Humanism is a body of philosophies and ethical perspectives that emphasize the value of human beings, individually and collectively, and generally place more importance on rational thought than on strict faith or adherence to principle. This would be a movement that would influence Italy forward to the new art of the Renaissance, and influence a generation for centuries. This movement shifted heavily religious themed paintings of god at his full power, to art that was more focused on human beings even putting gods at the stature of mortals. Paintings like The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo Buonarroti, The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli, and The School of Athens by Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino would be prime examples of humanist ideals, and Renaissance art ideals coming together and forming one.

This was due to the development of Franciscan naturalism, humanism, scientific enquiry and economic prosperity, forming an ideal climate for artists to explore and express their personal creativity and values. The Renaissance was also a new era in patronage.

The Renaissance was a cultural movement that took place from the 14th to the 17th century. It is believed to have begun in Florence, Italy in the late Middle Ages, aided by the political and civil structure of the city, the patronage of the powerful Medici family, and the migration of Greek scholars and their texts after the Fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks. The movement focused on a return to the concept of humanism, which centers on humans and their values, capacities, and worth.

The sale of vast amounts of materials from Italy caused Northern Europeans to like Italian artistry and humanistic ways which they cultivated into their own culture. The Italian Renaissance and Northern Europe Renaissance stood on the same principles of “rebirth” but took many different paths in implementing their ideals. However, there was one very important social and cultural similarity. The Italians and the English were people who believed in Christianity, which both Michelangelo and Albrecht Durer stressed through their earlier Renaissance paintings and sculptures of religious characters. (Italian Renaissance vs. Northern European Renaissance, 2010) The Italians and the English both draw and painted though linear point of views, which later developed a drawing and painting practice called, “chiaroscuro” using light and dark colors to give a three-dimensional illusions.
This helps to reach a better understanding of why Hellenization actually occurred in Rome. As Rome was in the midst of a changing republic it looked on new ways to express ones power and wealth. They looked to the Greeks and saw the beautiful temples and structures being built by the wealthy and successful in battle, thus the romans began to use architecture as the Greeks did. Octavius was the first roman to Hellenize Rome with his porticus and therefore was the start to a new era in roman architecture. The reason the Porticus Octavia is relied on so much to describe the Hellenization is due to how similarly Octavius modeled after the Greeks.
