There was a great debate and battle over the religious icons the Greek Orthodox and later Protestants viewed Icons as idol worship.
Many loved the Icons because they put a face with the beloved saint, bible personality etc. The Icons won
Protestant churches are more modest and have less religious imagery than Catholic

Gutenberg invented the printing press in 1445.This changed the lives of people in Europe and, eventually, all over the world.
In a Time magazine poll of 2000 the most important invention of the last 1000 years. Was the printing press.
Previously, bookmaking entailed copying all the words and illustrations by hand. Often the copying had been done onto parchment, animal skin that had been scraped until it was clean, smooth, and thin. The labor that went into creating them made each book very expensive.
Because Gutenberg's press could produce books quickly and with relatively little effort, bookmaking became much less expensive, allowing more people to buy reading material.
The Demand for Books Grows!!!!

Arab Scholars preserved the writings of the Ancient Greeks in their libraries
Arab scholars preserved the writings of the ancient Greeks in their libraries. When the Italian cities traded with the Arabs, ideas were exchanged along with goods.
These ideas, preserved from the ancient past, served as the basis of the Renaissance. When the Byzantine empire fell to Muslim Turks in 1453, many Christian scholars left Greece for Italy.

Paintings became more realistic and focused less often on religious topics.
Artists advanced the Renaissance style of showing nature and depicting the feelings of people.
Printing spread ideas to the masses.
