During the Beginning of Modern Times there was a period known as the Renaissance. The Renaissance was between 1350 through 1600. The cultural center for the Renaissance was around Florence Italy. One of the main people who started the Renaissance was Giovanni Medici. He built projects that beautified Florence and his family was the leading family in Florence. After Giovanni, Lorenzo Medici also known as "The Magnificent", ruled Florence from 1469 to 1492. These 2 people were the more influential men from the Medici family in Florence at the beginning of the Renaissance period.

Also during the Renaissance period there were many artists and new types of paintings. Leonardo da Vinci used Realism when he created The Mona Lisa in 1503 which was one of the most famous paintings in the world. Another great artist during the Renaissance was Michelangelo who created sculptures of Moses and David. He was well know for the paintings in the Sistine Chapel in St. Peters Cathedral in Rome. He he created ceiling murals like the Creation of Adam which was his more famous painting. There were many more great artists during this period but Leonardo and Michelangelo created more well known paintings.

During the time of the Reformation there was an influential man named Martin Luther. Luther was a German Monk who Criticized the Catholic Church and the Pope and created the 95 Thesis on October 31st, 1517. The 95 Thesis denounced granting indulgences that Johan Tetzel was selling for the Catholic Church. A few years after the 95 Thesis Martin Luther was excommunicated by Pople Leo X. A year after the excommunication Charles V questioned Luther and wanted him to take back his 95 Thesis at the Edict of Worms. Luther tells him "Here I stand. I can do no other" and then he was declared an outlaw. Luther had followers called Protestants. There are 2 common branches of Protestants, Lutheranism and Calvinism. Calvinism was started by John Calvin who started the idea of Predestination. Predestination is the idea that God decided at the beginning of time who would be saved. These two religions were 2 of the few created during the Reformation after Luther was excommunicated and was declared an outlaw.
