What are some characteristics of Northern Renaissance art?

Northern Renaissance art is highly detailed in nature and technically advanced. It was created in England, Germany, France, Germany and other countries north of the alps during the 15th and 16th centuries.

Northern Renaissance art, which was influenced by Gothic art, was produced in northern Europe until the 16th century, when it gave way to the Mannerist art form. Unlike the masters in Italy and other southerly European locations during the same time period, Northern renaissance artists built their pieces using a particularly masterful technique, favoring intricate detail over anatomical perfection. Northern renaissance painters include Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden.
