Relation to the Northern Rennaisance

• Works such as Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Othello are based almost purely upon human tendencies and emotions. (entirely unheard of subject matter until this era)

• “Shakespearean Language” refers to the poetic license with diction and syntax that characterizes his works.

• Terms such as “doth”, “thou”, “prithee”, “woo”, and “O’er”, etc- all revolutionized poetic language.

• Iambic Pentameter • "Two households, both alike in dignity, 

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, ....”

• Plays performed across the English Isle (first theatre was the Globe)

PAINTING OF THE NORTHERN EUROPEAN

RENAISSANCE

BY ARIANA MIRAGLIA AND HARRISON HOLTSLANDER

PERIOD 6

Page 42: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Relating to the Time Period

Page 43: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Relating to the Time Period

The biggest separating factors of the Renaissance and the Middle Ages were

the decline of the Feudalism System and the rise of the Humanism movement….

Page 44: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Relating to the Time PeriodThe dwindling of the feudalism* system had a

great impact on the art of Europe.This, in turn, also had an impact on the Catholic

church. Although that was a bigger problem for Italy, it is important to note that it brought upon Humanism.

The idea of Humanism* started in Italy and eventually spread to Northern Europe.

Feudalism: a system that structures society around rank determined by the holding of land in exchange for labor.

Humanism: a system of thinking where the prime importance is to the human rather to a supernatural or godly being

Page 45: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

HOWEVER.

Northern European Renaissance art and Middle Ages art were more similar than

you may think….

Page 46: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Example of Medieval Art

The Book Of Kells Late 8th Century

Illuminated ManuscriptIona, Scotland

Page 47: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Example of Northern European Art

These images were dated to the Northern European renaissance. Both are illuminated

manuscripts that share similar qualities to those of the previous Medieval images.

Page 48: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Relating to the Region

Page 49: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Relating to the RegionAt the time, Italy was dominant in the art aspect

of Europe.Northern European artists were prominent- but

there were less of them and harder to find.Their art, however, took on different forms than

the Italian. Some forms include illuminated manuscripts, tapestries, and furnishings. (similar to Middle Ages)

In terms of wealth, Burgundy (located around modern day Belgium) was in close comparison to Italy’s Florence.

Burgundy Dukes were great patrons of art and were the artist’s biggest financial suppliers.

Page 50: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Relating to the Region

Also different from Italy, the Northern European Artists took more attention to how the picture looked like rather than the scientific accuracy behind it.

Color and detail were essential in northern painting unlike in Italy. The more the better!

Page 61: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

What is the Northern Renaissance?

•The Northern Renaissance is acknowledged to be “Renaissance happenings that occurred within Europe, but outside of Italy.”

•The most innovative art came from France, the Netherlands, and Germany.▫Northern states

Page 62: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Europe in Crisis

•Through the 14th century, much of Europe was in crisis.▫Earlier prosperity had fostered population

growth By 1300 had begun to exceed food

production.▫Series of bad harvests meant famines

became increasingly common.▫The Hundred Years War was ongoing.

Page 63: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Europe in Crisis▫ The Black Death swept

across Europe, wiping out 40% of the population. Depleting the labor

force. Increased leveraged

over their landlords Increased wages of

artisans

Page 64: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Crisis in Europe

•The papacy had emerged from its conflict with the Holy Roman Empire.▫Weakened its spiritual authority and brought it

into conflict with other secular powers.•Along with the Great Schism, Northern Europe

was torn apart by religious sectarianism.

Page 65: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Coming Together• Despite all the upheaval,

monarchies consolidated their power over emerging nations and reformation as well as humanism were spread across Europe.▫ Embodied a worldview

that focused on human beings

Page 66: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Humanism Impact• Artists of the Catholic

Reformation produced sculptures whose expressive distortions reflect the fervent spirituality of the era.

• In the Netherlands, iconoclasts destroyed religious images▫ religious patronage of art

declined▫ secular patronage of

sculptures became more prominent commodities in a booming

market economy.

Page 67: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Foreign Influence• Reflected in the sculptures

styles▫ Mostly Gothic Influence

Soaring vaults, light, colorful glass

▫ Little Italian Influence—absorbed theories/techniques

Page 68: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Mode of Sculptures

•Work had little connection with the classical style that developed in Italy.

•Instead, northern sculptors continued to use techniques found in the great Gothic cathedrals.

•They worked with large figures in wood and stone to exquisite ivory carvings. ▫The pieces offer a broad range of emotional

expression, from dramatic to sensitive.

Page 69: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Sculpture Characteristics• Sculpture in the 13-15th

centuries is exemplified by its ‘intimate character.’

• Religious subjects became more emotionally expressive.▫ Cult of Chivalry

Page 70: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Sculpture Characterist

ics

•Tales of love and valor were carved on luxury items to satisfy the rich, middle class, and aristocracy alike.• Metals such as

gold, silver, and ivory were preferred.

Page 71: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Influential People• In the 1300s, Northern

European sculptors had developed a form of realism that was highly detailed.▫ Sculptors began creating

precise portraits of particular individuals.

• This realism reached it’s peak with Flemish sculptor Claus Sluter▫ images of biblical figures have

animated expressions, a sense of movement, and include details such as signs of aging.

• Another characteristic of northern European work during this period is the use of paint on sculptured surfaces.

Page 72: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Other Areas with Art• In the 1400s, sculpture in

the realistic style appeared in Germany and Austria.

• The Dutch artist Nicolaus Gerhaert, brought the style of Claus Sluter to the region.

• Notable German sculptural works: ▫ wooden altarpieces to

decorate churches▫ Combined sculpture with

painting

Page 73: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Italian Renaissance Influence• In the 1500s, the Italian Renaissance arrived in northern Europe.

• Flemish and German artists, such as traveled to Italy and brought back Renaissance ideas and practices.▫ Albrecht Dürer ,

• In France and Spain, the monarchs were responsible for introducing Renaissance art.

• Commissioned works from leading Italian masters.▫ The Italian artist Francesco

Primaticcio adorned the French royal residence at Fontainebleau with elegant stucco nudes.

▫ In turn, many French and Spanish artists adopted Italian artistic technique

Page 74: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Regression and Resurgence

•The rise of the Protestant Reformation in German-speaking lands temporarily put an end to new religious sculpture.

•The more radical Protestant reformers were strongly opposed to the religious use of images.▫However, the followers of Martin Luther

accepted and contributed to the re-emergence of religious sculpture in Germany in the late 1500s.

Renaissance Architecture • The Northern European Renaissance was very heavily influenced by the Italian Renaissance architecturally. Northern Europe followed in Italy’s footsteps toward a more classical architectural style and began to cut off the gothic architecture that had been so dominant.

• The Architecture became more open, more specifically, open to God. Religion was very influential in architecture, it was part of the style to leave very much room for light to come in.

Renaissance Architecture• Architects were very influenced by nature, and wanted to be

done with the dark and gloomy forms of Gothic building. And though many Gothic structures were already highly decorative, the new classical architectural style promoted new and better use of artistic decoration.

• Use of natural light was a major theme during the Renaissance.The light was symbolic of purity and God, and in turn, was a major theme of many architectural works.

Regions• The Renaissance in Northern Europe did not happen all at once. It was

generally one country at a time that would join in.

• This meant that architecture would change quickly but all be connected. • Germany was heavily influenced by Italian architecture, as was Spain.

French and English architecture was very decorative, and Scandinavian architecture took one formidable manors. All tried to appeal to aesthetics and classical demand.

Important People• Sebastiano Serlio: Italian Renaissance figure. He wrote Tutte l’opere

d’architettura, et prospetiva ( “Complete Works on Architecture and Perspective”), Which was translated from Latin and was hugely influential on Northern European architecture. His book promoted practical architecture philosophy as opposed to theoretical architecture philosophy

Page 98: Renaissance Politics in Northern Europe By Loose & Dyson 9/5/2012 AP European History

Important People• Marcus Vitruvius:

Marcus Vitruvius was a roman was a Roman writer, architect and engineer who wrote the multi-volume work De Architectura ("On Architecture"). The rediscovery of Vitruvius' work had a profound influence on architects of the Renaissance, prompting the rise of the Neo-Classical style. Renaissance architects, such as Niccoli, Brunelleschi and Leon Battista Alberti, found in "De Architectura” their inspiration for raising their branch of knowledge to a science as well as emphasizing the skills of the architect. More specifically in Northern Europe Renaissance architecture, The English architect Inigo Jones and the Frenchman Salomon de Caus were among the first to rediscover and implement those disciplines that Vitruvius considered a necessary element of architecture: arts and sciences based upon number and proportion. In the marginalia that Spanish architect El Greco inscribed in his copy of Daniele Barbaro's translation of Vitruvius' “De architectura”, he refuted Vitruvius' attachment to archaeological remains, perspective and mathematics. He also saw Vitruvius' manner of distorting proportions in order to compensate for distance from the eye as responsible for creating monstrous forms.
