Art of the Northern Renaissance

The term “the Renaissance” is associated with the artistic bounty of Italy—but the massive cultural transformations remaking the world were affecting art throughout northern Europe as well. In The Art of the Northern Renaissance, Professor Catherine Scallen leads an intensely visual exploration using more than 300 images—paintings, woodcuts, engravings, etchings, sculptures, drawings—by well-known artists Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, Albrecht Dürer, Hans Holbein, Hieronymus Bosch, and Pieter Bruegel, and others, to show the glorious art of the Northern Renaissance.

But have you ever wondered why there was such an artistic, cultural, and intellectual explosion in Italy, beginning in the 14th century? Why did it occur in Italy and not some other part of Europe? Why did it happen predominantly in certain Italian city-states, such as Florence? In The Italian Renaissance, Professor Kenneth Bartlett will answer these questions and more.
