Answer:

It was in Florence, during the Medici era – bankers, patrons of the arts, sciences and architecture – that Humanism flourished:

Cosme the Elder (1389-1464) founded the Platonic Academy;

Laurenzo the Magnificient (1449-1492), a shrewd statesman, supported a number of painters.

The humanist movement spread throughout EUROPE:

In the Netherlands, in the LATE 15th century, there was much intellectual excitement. Eras-mus (1450-1537) was an IMPORTANT figure in Rotterdam.

In France, Francis I (1494-1547) proved especially open to humanism. He lived among sci-entists, such as Guillaume Budé (1467-1540), who urged him to establish educational facili-ties independent of the Sorbonne. Thus the first six chairs at the Collège de France were es-tablished, three of them for Hebrew. The Edict of Villers-Cotterêts (1539) specified that from then on FRENCH would be the language used for Royal decrees, for delivering legal judgements and for all civil status documentation. It was a key point in the expansion of the French language.

In ENGLAND, amongst others, Thomas More (1478-1535), Tyndale (1494-1536), and, a little later, Shakespeare (1564-1616) should be mentioned.
