What to look for

Northern Renaissance: compared with the Italian Renaissance it is less idealised and more detailed: wrinkles, every hair, sharp-edged objects and deep, jewel-like colour.

Pieter Aertsen (1508 in Amsterdam – 2 June 1575 in Amsterdam), called Lange Piet ("Tall Pete") because of his height, was a Dutch painter in the style of Northern Mannerism. He is credited with the invention of the monumental genre scene, which combines still life and genre painting and often also includes a biblical scene in the background. Wikipedia
