The Renaissance in Northern
Europe
Dates
1420 – 1520
Painting in 15th century Flanders
Characteristics
 Solemn facial features and awkward unreal figure postures
 Less emphasis on perspective than in Italy
 Sacred scenes often portrayed in ordinary domestic interiors
 Space was often distorted to fit aspects of domestic life
 Devices like mirrors were used to reflect hidden sides of a room
 Landscape was often depicted through an open window
 Atmospheric perspective used in landscape
 Close observation of nature by artists
 Detailed perfection in the painting of flowers, jewels, shiny metal,
glass, fur, velvet and other expensive fabrics
In the cities of Ghent and Bruges (modern day Belgium)
Materials and techniques
 Oil painting on wood panel
 This was slow drying and allowed artists to blend the colours
and make changes more easily
 It dried to a hard, opaque, enamel like finish with a shiny
velvety texture
Jan Van Eyck
 Worked for time with his brother Hubert
 Perfected skills in oil painting to a very high level
 Developed ‘atmospheric perspective’ - the blurring of colours
and shapes in the distance
 Painted very fine realistic detail

here 1434’

The Renaissance in Germany
 Albrect Dürer
 A educated and well travelled man
 He was also a humanist
 Northern humanism was different to the Italian and had a strong
spirit of religious reform

his own person with his own ideas
 His works include a remarkable series of self portraits
 His made his first drawing of himself at just 13 years old

•The artist portrays a Christ
like image of himself
•This was a statement of his
faith
•His talents were God given
because God had created
man
•It is man’s duty to to follow
Christ’s example
Dürers woodcuts and engravings
 Dürer was an excellent draftsman
 He worked mainly as a graphic artist
 He took advantage of new technology as an opportunity for
production and distribution.
 He used wood engraving blocks and copper plates to make
copies.
 His own publishing business of printed graphics was equal to
that of his work as a painter

  • 2. Painting in 15th century Flanders Characteristics  Solemn facial features and awkward unreal figure postures  Less emphasis on perspective than in Italy  Sacred scenes often portrayed in ordinary domestic interiors  Space was often distorted to fit aspects of domestic life  Devices like mirrors were used to reflect hidden sides of a room  Landscape was often depicted through an open window  Atmospheric perspective used in landscape  Close observation of nature by artists  Detailed perfection in the painting of flowers, jewels, shiny metal, glass, fur, velvet and other expensive fabrics In the cities of Ghent and Bruges (modern day Belgium)
  • 3. Materials and techniques  Oil painting on wood panel  This was slow drying and allowed artists to blend the colours and make changes more easily  It dried to a hard, opaque, enamel like finish with a shiny velvety texture
  • 4. Jan Van Eyck  Worked for time with his brother Hubert  Perfected skills in oil painting to a very high level  Developed ‘atmospheric perspective’ - the blurring of colours and shapes in the distance  Painted very fine realistic detail
  • 5. Madonna of the Chancellor Rolin 1422 Jan van EYCK Musée du Louvre Paris
  • 6. The Ghent Altarpiece 1432 – closed doors Hubert and Jan van EYCK Cathedral of St Bavo Ghent Belgium

  • 14. The Renaissance in Germany  Albrect Dürer  A educated and well travelled man  He was also a humanist  Northern humanism was different to the Italian and had a strong spirit of religious reform  He was very influenced by Italian art but remained very much his own person with his own ideas  His works include a remarkable series of self portraits  His made his first drawing of himself at just 13 years old

  • 17. Dürers woodcuts and engravings  Dürer was an excellent draftsman  He worked mainly as a graphic artist  He took advantage of new technology as an opportunity for production and distribution.  He used wood engraving blocks and copper plates to make copies.  His own publishing business of printed graphics was equal to that of his work as a painter
