The Renaissance was a period defined, one could argue, by visions of the future. Petrarch’s Letter to Posterity (ca. 1372) and Dante’s Divine Comedy (ca. 1308–20) represent early manifestations of this concern with the future, fame, and posterity, followed by Renaissance historian and humanist Leonardo Bruni’s histories and biographies of the 1440s and Giorgio Vasari’s celebrated Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects of 1550. At the same time, European explorers, merchants, soldiers, and missionaries traversed the globe in search of new lands to conquer, new natural resources to acquire, and new souls to convert to Christianity.
