1. The Northern Renaissance

2. The Northern Renaissance
Spreads to Spain, France, England, then the Low Countries., and the German States.
Very literary- spurred by the Printing press. (1439, Johannes Gutenberg, Mainz, Germany)

3. French Invasions of Italy
Habsburg–Valois Wars, were a long series of wars fought between 1494 and 1559 in Italy during the Renaissance.
Lorenzo the Magnificent had signed a treaty in between Florence, the Sforza in Milan, and the King of Aragon who held Naples.
When that fell apart in 1494, the French saw their opportunity to horn in on the disorder and started to invade all the territories. Push and pull led to Ferdinand of Aragon from Spain getting involved, and a series of French kings refusing to give up despite different popes, different Spanish and Austrian rulers fighting back.

4. Why do they keep going back?
One of the things that kept France fighting despite being defeated repeatedly was their fear of a unified Austria and Spain under the marriage of Juanna of Spain and Philip Hapsburg of Austria.
Their son, Charles I/V inherited all of this area and they were terrified.

5. Treaty of Cateau-Cambresis
1559 final peace treaty when Charles V abdicated and split his dominions between his son, Philip II and brother, Maximillian.
In the end, the French and the Spanish had spent all their money, France had won no land, and Rome had been sacked by mercenaries from Germany hired by the French.
BUT- the French were exposed to the Renaissance.

6. Leonardo DaVinci
Francis I was so impressed while he was sacking Italy that he hired DaVinci to come to his court in France.
Look up DaVinci in France and tell me what he brought with him when he moved to France?
Where did he live while he was in France?

7. English Renaissance
The English Renaissance is different because it focused more on literature.
It also started much later. It didn’t get going really well until ish.
It doesn’t include as much amazing painting, but there were some.
Hans Holbein the Younger, court painter for Henry VIII.

9. Writers
Look up the English Renaissance and tell me who some of the most important authors were.

10. The Low Countries and German States
The Netherlands was so big in trading that they got a huge dose of influence from Italy.
The art there had a few distinguishing characteristics-
G-d is your judge
Objects in nature
Traditional everyday life of common people
Great attention to detail, and no effort to beautify people- painted “warts and all”.

11. Jan Van Eyck 1395-1441 Father of oil painting
Insane amount of detail- this is the Arnolfini Portrait.
Check out the way he portrays light, the details in the mirror, and the shading.

12. Ghent Altarpiece

13. Albrecht Dürer (1471 – 1528)

14. Hieronymous Bosch

16. Rembrandt von Rijn
Considered one of the greatest artists in Western History and greatest Dutch painter.
Known for portraiture and Bible scenes. This one is called “the Anatomy Lesson”.

17. The Night Watch 1642
Look up Storm on the Sea of Galilee and find out what happened to it…
