- An up-to-date survey covering the years 1380-1580, when northern Europe witnessed a period of artistic innovation as dynamic as contemporary events in Italy
- Discusses the work of artists such as Van Eyck, Durer and Holbein, who mastered new techniques of oil painting and printmaking to produce some of the most exquisite art of all time
- Examines the developments in all the arts, from paintings, tapestries and illuminated manuscripts to sculpture and architecture
- Sets the art in the context of intellectual and religious horizons, brought about by events such as the Protestant Reformation and the discovery of the Americas
'The format is wonderful and offers what had long been missing in academic studies: usable manuals for specific themes or periods...I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools.' (Joachim Pissarro, Yale University)
