Synopsis
This text aims to provide an accessible approach to the Northern art tradition of the 15th and 16th centuries. Questions of realism and symbolism lead to new readings of a range of religious and allegorical images and portraits, seen in the context of the controversies of the time.

About the Author
Craig Harbison is Professor Emeritus of art history at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is the author of Jan van Eyck, The Play of Realism.
From the Inside Flap
This book evokes the art of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Northern Europe in all its richness and splendour. The works of Van Eyck, Bosch, Bruegel, Dürer and other masters are considered within the larger context of a changing society in which church and state, Protestant and Catholic, man and woman, artist and patron, independent mercantile city and noble chivalric court all played a part. Craig Harbison considers these and many other facets of the Renaissance world, drawing them together into a unified narrative that illuminates the complexity and brilliance of the art and its times.
