Answer: The Renaissance and Humanism

Explanation: First of all, the Renaissance began as a cultural movement in the 14th century, but the roots and influence of the Renaissance were much deeper. In translations, it means rebirth, and represents a newborn of the classic art of ancient Greece, but also a glance at the world at all. Humanism and naturalism as the basic ideas of Renaissance art, but also of science and life in general, contradicted church doctrine and dogma. This resulted in the conversion from ecclesiastical dogmas and favouring human and natural laws as the primary, and in this way weakened the influence of the church.
