Beautiful paintings of the Northern Renaissance are used to describe the Renaissance in northern Europe the term. Before the 1450 Italian Renaissance humanism in Italy. From the late 15th century the idea spread throughout Europe. This affected the German Renaissance, French Renaissance, English Renaissance, in the Dutch Renaissance, Renaissance in Poland and other countries and local sports, each with different characteristics and advantages.
French King Francis I of the introduction of Italian art, commissioned Italian artists (including Leonardo da Vinci) at a great price, the magnificent palace, built-in the beginning of the French Renaissance. Trade and commercial city as cultural exchanges between Italy and the Low Countries, Antwerp, Bruges in the 15th and 16th, but in the arts, particularly in construction, the late Gothic style, until the arrival of the Baroque period, and even the painter more and more to the Italian model.

In some areas, the Northern Renaissance is different in its concentration of political power of the Italian Renaissance.Although Italy and Germany-based independent city-states, Europe, central and western part of the area began emerging nation-state. The northern Renaissance also has close ties to the Protestant Reformation and the long-term between Protestant groups and Roman Catholic-lasting effects, such as division of labor in the Netherlands, both internal and external conflict series.

Western Europe a thousand years of feudal rule, but in the Renaissance began to decline. The reasons for this decline include the post-plague environment, not money more and more use of land as a medium of exchange, the serfs of the Freedmen of life is more and more, the formation of nation-state’s interest in reducing the feudal power of the feudal monarchy lords army in farming techniques and methods to improve agricultural productivity and a general increase, more and more useless in the face of new military technology (such as gunpowder). In Italy, the decline of feudalism, open manner, and the Western European Renaissance culture, social and economic changes.

Finally, the Renaissance in Western Europe is also lit the Roman Catholic Church weakened. The feudal slow demise, but also weakened a long-established policy of population control in a tribute to the return of estate helps to keep the church officials. Therefore, in the early 15th century see the rise of many secular institutions and beliefs. One of the most important people-oriented, will many of Renaissance art, music, philosophy of science reasons. Erasmus, for example, the spread of the idea of ​​people-centered, important in the north and the intersection of classical humanism and religious issues, the installation was a central figure. A century ago, has been banned by the church’s form of artistic expression, the tolerance, even encouragement in some circles.
Throughout the European Renaissance of the propagation velocity can be attributed to the invention of printing.Dissemination of knowledge, and enhance the research strength, and commonly affect the dissemination of political ideas and the Renaissance in northern Europe in the process. In Italy, the press publications in the vernacular language and the new and ancient classical texts written in Greek and Latin books, an increase of availability. In addition, “the Bible” has become widely used in the translation, a factor often attributed to the spread of the Protestant Reformation.

The realism of detail of early Netherlandish painting in Italy, great respect, but it was not until the late 15th century nearly, north of mutual influence. Despite the frequent cultural and artistic exchanges, Antwerp, of Mannerists the (1500-1530), overlapping chronological order, but low in the middle of the country’s first artist, clearly reflect the official Italian Mannerism, Italy has nothing to do.
Around the same time, Dürer had made two trips to Italy, where he admired very much his prints. Dürer, in turn, he saw art. Other well-known painters, such as the elders of Hans Holbein and Jean Fouquet, to retain a Gothic influence is still popular in the north, while a high degree of personalization, such as Boss and old Breughel The artist has developed many future generations to imitate the style.In the northern painters of the 16th century more and more and went to Rome to become known as the Catholic Church.The prevalence of Michelangelo and Raphael’s High Renaissance art and the style of the late Renaissance Mannerism tend to have a great impact on their work.

Remaining in the Renaissance and classical works and monuments encouraged many Italian painter to explore the Greek and Roman themes more prominent than the artists of the north, and the equally famous in Germany and the Netherlands in the 15th century painting is often religious.Particularly common in the wings, from the huge portable, can open and close on different days of the liturgical year.Become more unified in the 16th century, from the myth of history and other topics between the north and the Italian artist. Northern Renaissance painters, however, a new subject matter such as landscape and genre painting.
As the artistic style of the Renaissance in Northern Europe, moved them to change and adapt to local customs. Brought religious painting almost completely to the end of the reform in the north of England and the Netherlands. Although the Tudor court in the UK a few very talented artists, portraits slow the spread from the elite. Such as Rosso Florence Italy, in France, Fontainebleau school style in the latest style, but to build a lasting national style. To the end of the 16th century, artists of Karel Fan Mande, and Hendrick Goltzius collected in Harlem in the north of the pretense, but also spread the cloudy brief but intense phase.
