    Northern Renaissance Art

    Northern Renaissance art is defined by a departure from gothic naturalism to humanism. Art during this period was reminiscent of classical Rome and Greece, focusing on proportion and knowledge. Religious figures no longer existed within the sacred realm, but within the human. With a growing middle class, the Church no longer funded the arts as much as patronage from wealthy families would.
