The Renaissance (Meaning "Rebirth") was the rebirth of education, science, art, literature, music, and the improvement of life in general, since most of what the Greeks and Romans have accomplished was lost during the Dark Ages. The time period lasted from the 14th century to the 17th century and served as a bridge from the middle ages to the modern age.
The Haunted Mansion[]
Most, if not, all incarnations of the mansion are influenced by the Renaissance and the artistic styles in certain paintings seemed to reflect back to this particular era as well.
