Early Netherlandish painting

Natura naturata versus natura naturans: Different ways of pursuing naturalism in the north and the south Throughout the paper, the question of how and to what extent early Netherlandish painting influenced Leonardo’s paintings of the High Renaissance has been discussed. By showing how Early Netherlandish artists may have influenced their Italian successors, we could set the foundation through comparison. Then, by discussing the characteristic of chiaroscuro in each period, we could see the direction of development in this technique in portraiture. Finally, by analyzing Leonardo da Vinci’s advanced skill, we could appreciate its delicacy and the harmony of symbolism and chiaroscuro. The conclusion will look at the general difference between the attitudes to nature in the two regions. Art…

Dirk Bouts was a Northern Renaissance and Early Netherlandish painter. He was greatly influenced by Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden. He was known for his devotional panels and portraits and most of his paintings had to do with Biblical concepts. He lived during a time in history when the middle ages ended and the renaissance began. His painting, Moses before the burning bush, with Moses removing his shoes, is a beautiful rendering of the scene when Moses first beholds the presence of God,…

construe the general goal of the painter, which is to emphasise the sitter, but the brightness does confuse viewers at first sight. The inclusion of an interior space is groundbreaking itself (if we consider the Arnolfini Portrait (fig.2) as a kind of certificate rather than a portrait), but the depiction in Christus’s painting seems immature and the depth of the room defies common sense. As the figure seems too large for this narrow space, it could be inferred that the perspective may not…

The Early Netherlandish period holds its place in time as one of the most important periods of art history. The progression of Western culture in this era is demonstrated by more relatable depictions of everyday life in art, along with more sophisticated techniques used to show the finer details of these events. Moreover, Early Netherlandish art is fascinating because of how ahead of the Italian Proto Renaissance it is in terms of refinement. Yet by later standards, it is considered to be simple…

masterpiece of ‘realistic’ interior, or even genre, painting. But the question arises whether the patient enthusiasm bestowed upon this marvellous interior anticipates the modern principle of ‘l’art pour l’art,’ so to speak, or is still rooted to some extent in the medieval tendency of investing visible objects with an allegorical or symbolic meaning. Panofsky's outcome was that the narrow setting in the Portrait of Giovanni Arnolfini and his Wife acts both as an archive of existence and a…

or theme that Ivor Miller went over in his graffiti article and how it reflects to one of the Creative Spirit goals for class.What I got out of Miller’s article is that creolization is the concept of being able to bring two different aspects together and making it into one. The first image is a piece from back home that I thought was a beautiful painting. I chose this image because it caught my attention with its creativity and uniqueness and because it was painted in such a bad part of town…
