The Northern Renaissance

NORTHERN RENAISSANCE
The Departure Of Artists

• The invasion that a French king launched
through northern Italy ;unfortunately, led to
the migration of the Italian artists to settle in
Northern Europe.
•As a result 100% of their creativity , styles,
and techniques migrated with them and
settled in Northern Europe.
•Not only their art but also their ideas of
human dignity inspired the northern humanists
.
•So it’s easy to conclude by now why the
northern Renaissance have developed its own
character.
Students are Home !!
•Over loaded with creativity ,the students
that were sent to learn art in Italy returned
back home.
•So that simply lead to the transfer of art,
and creativity from Italy to northern Europe.
•REMINDER: Back then, art was a beautiful
type of wealth.
•Of the A* students was Albrecht Durer;
we call him an A* student for how creative
he applied what he had learned in Italy to
make Germany ,his homeland, a better
place.

Eramus’ close friends, wrote Utopia.
Utopia!!
•An ideal place as portrayed in More’s
book, while in Greek it means no place.
•This book covers a story about an
imaginary land where greed, corruption
and war were abolished.
•The story was translated into lots of
languages as it gained popularity all
around the world.
