His personality is viewed in the context of the formation of humanism ideas, discoveries that have changed the course of history, prominent representatives of the Renaissance, who influenced the formation of this outstanding personality. Return to the antiquity ideals, i.e. to the Renaissance humanistic principles, has been shown to open the opportunity for the establishment of a number of scientific centers and the concentration of real intellectuals of that time in them. The universalism of their thinking enabled the emergence of a new mentality and styles in art, painting, science.
