In world literature, Shota Rustaveli is known as a poet of the Renaissance. He brilliantly portrayed free-thinking, spiritually and physically perfect epic characters in the poem "The Knight in the Panther's Skin". An original artistic look, a broad outlook, surprise with the breadth of scale: "The Knight in the Panther's Skin" expresses the new humanistic ideals of the great period. As a Georgian literary monument of verbal art, Rustaveli's poem precedes the works of the European Renaissance. These creative processes, different in time of writing and from different geographic regions, developed independently of each other.
