| Description: In this tour, we introduce participants to the 15th-16th-century Northern Renaissance art of the region north of the Alps. We present the key artists whose contributions were pivotal in advancing the style and show their main works. We present the characteristic works of other notable artists active in the art centres which emerged in affluent cities in France, Germany and the Low Countries. We describe and illustrate the specific themes treated by painters, sculptors, graphic artists and metalworkers. The illustrations come from the WGA collection containing over 5.800 images related to Northern Renaissance art.
