The Renaissance in the Netherlands
The Renaissance in the Netherlands is also called the Flemish Renaissance, and Jan Van Eyck was the leader of the movement.
Look for these characteristics:
– Perfected oil painting– Modeling with light and shade
– Great detail– Use of windows, doors, and mirrors
– Use of symbols

N.B. Leonardo and most of the Italian Renaissance painters use plein-air as the backdrop to their paintings. The Flemish painters didn’t, but note the open windows or doors.

A Moment of Renaissance Zen
• Brunelleschi’s strength lay in his understanding of the past. It hurt him with the doors, but it worked for him with the dome. He mixed the Gothic and the classical Roman vaulting.
• My grandmother always said when teaching me to play bridge, “Allen, you always lead from your longest and strongest suit.”
LeonardoLeonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was the genius of the Renaissance with a broadest knowledge base of anyone. He invented things like parachutes before planes. He dreamed dreams that never were and said why not.
N.B. Sfumato (depth due to ethereal background), pyramid, S-shaped
curve, and chiaroscuro
“That painting is the most to be praised which agrees most exactly with the thing imitated.”
