Abstract
The Reformation was the movement in the arts and religious life of western Europe in the sixteenth century which resulted in the formation of the different schools and Protestant Churches. At earlier periods there had been a feeling that conditions in the general leadership needed improvement along two distinct lines: firstly, through the efforts of many individuals of the monastic order and general councils to bring about the needed changes within the church. Such a movement was undertaken by the Reforming Councils of Pisa, Constance, and Basel in the fifteenth century. Secondly, was to improve the conditions of Christendom and by forming separate organizations outside of the Roman Catholic Church.
