In the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance a period of unprecedented cultural vitality in Europe, spurred by a growing interest in classical antiquity and the discovery of distant continents, precipitated a shift from religious art to that which reflected different ideas about mankind, society, and belief. People became more mobile, independent, and prosperous, while artists grew more self-assured, able to develop their own styles. This book presents many aspects of this transformative European experience through its artworks, with more than 100 highlights from the lesser-known collections of Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum, a wide-ranging overview of five centuries of flourishing culture.
