This book offers a wide-ranging introduction to the way that art was made, valued, and viewed in northern Europe in the age of the Renaissance, from the late fourteenth to the early years of the sixteenth century. Drawing on a rich range of sources, from inventories and guild regulations to poetry and chronicles, it examines everything from panel paintings to carved altarpieces.
While many little-known works are foregrounded, Susie Nash also presents new ways of viewing and understanding the more familiar, such as the paintings of Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, and Hans Memling, by considering the social and economic context of their creation and reception. Throughout, Nash challenges the perception that Italy was the European leader in artistic innovation at this time, demonstrating forcefully that Northern art, and particularly that of the Southern Netherlands, dominated visual culture throughout Europe in this crucial period.

This is an excellent book about Renaissance Art in Northern Europe and is highly recommendable! It is well-written, easy to understand and very comprehensive, treating not only painting and sculpture but also the so-called "crafts". A particular strength of this book is that it explains the historical context in which these artworks were made in great detail, also by drawing on a range of primary sources, and it also explains how the different artworks were made and viewed. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout, often depicting details of the works of art, and has a good and comprehensive index, as well as 2 maps of 15th-century Europe. The book also reassesses the role Northern art played in the Renaissance, showing that it had a far greater influence than often assumed, and that it was in no way inferior to Italian Renaissance art. All in all, a very good introduction to Renaissance art and helpful to every student as well as an informative book for the interested layperson.
