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.

Gerard David (c. 1460 – 13 August 1523) was an Early Netherlandish painter and manuscript illuminator known for his brilliant use of color. Only a bare outline of his life survives, although some facts are known. Wikipedia
