Heavily influenced by the Italian Renaissance

Characterized by monarchies, princely courts, and the Catholic Church, which shaped patronage.
The invention of the printing press accelerated the spread of humanism and reformist ideas.
Jan van Eyck’s painting exemplifies the Northern fascination with detail and oil paint mastery. His use of layered glazes creates striking luminosity and depth, marking a significant technical advancement over Italian tempera techniques
