A proposed syllabus for a university course on northern renaissance art, focusing on the netherlands, holland, and germany from 1300-1600. The course will evaluate the influence of political and religious institutions, international trade, and the rise of humanism on the development of art during this period. Students will examine selected examples of creative expression, discuss the lives of artists and their origins, compare creative expressions among cultures and historical periods, and develop original ideas or arguments using technical language. The course objectives include participation in class discussion, writing analytical or evaluative papers, oral presentations, and creating an artistic product or performance. Students will also become fluent with the terminology, geography, and language of the renaissance world.

Course Objective: By chronicling the history of the Northern Renaissance period, this course will explore the artistic contributions from a formative period of western society, from which many of our present artistic and cultural practices find their genesis. An essential part of the course will be to learn about the lives of the artists and artisans who created these works as well as to study the institutions, both historic and cultural, that led to and influenced their ideas and creative ideals.

How the Objectives will be Accomplished: Each class session we will discuss a new Northern Renaissance artist, or movement, as we chronologically explore the development of art in northern Europe from 1350 to 1600. Each session will consist of lecture, class discussion, readings and films related to class in order to enrich our understanding of the period.
