Abstract

European art, culture, science and philosophy underwent substantial progress during the Renaissance, leaving behind rich material cultural relics that have inspired and mesmerized people for ages. Due to their fragility and the passage of time, these priceless artifacts are vulnerable to theft, loss, and damage. This paper expresses the impact of modern technology, which has proven to be a helpful ally in maintaining and renewing the material cultural relics of the Renaissance in order to address these concerns. The impact of contemporary technology on the Renaissance's material cultural relics is examined in this article, as is how it can efficiently preserve, transmit, and disseminate these priceless relics. The difficulties that Renaissance cultural artifacts encounter as a result of historical developments and the passage of time are covered in the study. These priceless cultural artifacts are fragile, which makes them more susceptible to theft, loss, and destruction. The paper makes the case that leveraging contemporary technologies can more successfully preserve, transmit, and spread Renaissance cultural heritage. Examples include virtual reality, artistic creativity, and social media. For instance, augmented reality (AR) can be used to see how the Last Supper frescoes in the Convent of Santa Maria de Milano originally appeared. The essay also looks at how preserving and passing on Renaissance cultural history inspires and enhances the present and future while fostering cultural variety, innovation, and tolerance. Finally, the report emphasizes the significance of considering the potential negative effects of technology, including the possible harm that immersive experiences may cause to people's physical health.
