Although other civilizations had mirrors made of bronze or other metals (or people simply looked in water to see themselves), they did not show the clear and "realistic" view you see in fine glass mirrors, which were originally made in Venice, where the Renaissance began. These mirrors certainly played a big role in changing the world of science and art. This tells how the use of mirrors led to a new look of realism in painting, which you see suddenly flowering in Renaissance art at that time.
