The Splendour of the Northern Renaissance

This course explores the variety and ingenuity of northern renaissance arts. Sparkling oil paintings, rich tapestries, life-like sculptures, intricate metal works and ingenious prints all flourished in lands north of the Alps from the fourteenth to sixteenth century. The wit, imagination and splendour of northern art had enormous influence across Europe, although little of it is well-known today. We will rediscover its importance and examine how northern and Italian renaissance artists influenced each other in this remarkable period of artistic rebirth.
