RENAISSANCE
EUROPEAN
Flemish painting
-
The Flemish school’s greatest contribution was the oil painting technique, which became popular when Jan Van Eyck began to use it
It consists of mixing colours with oil so the paint dries slowly. This allows corrections to be made and for great attention to detail.

Hieronymus Bosch, known as El Bosco in Spain, developed an original style full of allegories, imaginary worlds and strange beings.
German painting
In Germany the most notable painters were Matthias Grunewald, who specialised in religious themes and Albrecht Durer, who had a powerful influence on other artists of the time and was a master of the woodcutting technique
Apart from the Italian states, the main areas where new tendencies developed were Flanders, Germany and France.

Painting and sculpture also reflected the new mentality. This can be seen in the way the subjects were realistically represented. New pictorial techniques were also adopted, such as perspective and the use of oil paints.

The Humanist spirit created a new artistic style, the Renaissance. This style originated in the small Italian states.
Artists could dedicate themselves exclusively to creation because they were maintained by patrons, who paid them for their work
This artistic style was called Renaissance because there was a revival of Classical Greek and Roman culture. This occurred for two main reasons:
The arrival in Italy of Greek scholars, who had fled Constantinople
The abundance of Roman remains on the Italian peninsula and the discovery of new archaeological remains
