How it impacted history The Renaissance changed history later on. To this day people have been studying the arts and literature from that period of time. The doctors used the medical advances to aid them in their work. Artists have looked back at the art work to be inspired. The philosophers of the time period have made true statements that many follow. All the progress of today have started all back in the renaissance period. Scientific, medical, mathematical, philosophies, and artwork are all reasons why today, people make progress. The father of modern philosophy (Rene Descartes) created the scientific method. The scientific method was one of the greatest achievements in the renaissance era. Another example from the era of renaissance is the Sistine Chapel which was created by Michelangelo was by far a great work of art. Those are some examples that people follow to this day. That is how the renaissance impacted history later on.
