The Renaissance covered the period from 1400 to 1600, which
brought numerous changes that included new techniques in art,
the way art was viewed, and how people viewed themselves.
The term renaissance means "rebirth" and it refers to the
renewal of interest in Roman and Greek cultures. During the
period scholars who called themselves humanists believed in the

The Northern Renaissance developed more gradually than in
Italy. Northern artists did not live among the ruins of Rome nor
did they share the Italians’ sense of a personal link to the
creators of the Classical past; thus affecting the focus and

Renaissance artists in northern Europe focused more on small
details of the visible world, such as decoration or the outer
appearance of their subjects. An example of the detailed style of
Northern Renaissance art can be seen in figure 16.20 the
Ambassadors by Holbein. (Getlein page 379) Italian
Renaissance artists focused more on accurately depicting the
underlying muscular structure of the human body. (Getlein page
