Renaissance painters in Flanders, such as Jan van Eyck and Pieter Bruegel the Elder, produced work that was characterized by meticulous detail, vibrant color, and a focus on realism, similar to their Italian counterparts. However, they often emphasized everyday life and landscapes, integrating complex symbolism and a sense of texture in their oil paintings. This regional style blended naturalism with a strong narrative element, setting it apart from the more idealized forms found in Italy.
Some of them planted crops, tended livestock, dug ditches, or made bricks, pretty much like their ancestors before the Renaissance. But an increasing number of people were learning to read, inventing things, painting pictures, and composing songs in polyphony--both motets (religious) and madrigals (secular).
German painters, such as Albrecht Dürer and Lucas Cranach, often emphasized emotional depth and individual expression, focusing on themes of religious and moral significance with a distinct attention to detail and line work. In contrast, Flemish painters like Jan van Eyck and Pieter Bruegel the Elder excelled in the use of oil paints to create rich color palettes and intricate textures, emphasizing realism and meticulous attention to landscape and everyday life. While both traditions valued realism, the Flemish approach often celebrated materialism and the beauty of the natural world, whereas German art tended to explore deeper spiritual and philosophical themes.
For the fashionable ladies, this was a time of ankle-length skirts, parasols, and large broad-brimmed hats. Women also tended to wear a stiff girdle underneath. This meant that you could not comfortably sit in a chair; women perched on the edge of the seat, instead. Look at pictures of the period, and this is what you see. Skirts were long, even when playing tennis. In fact, a woman's free hand when playing tennis (the one not holding the racquet) was supposed to hike the skirt so as not to trip! Practicality was not the issue. The point was to show off that your husband had a comfortable income, and that you didn't have to work.
In general, I've noticed that the 60s tended to focus on bright colors and geometrical prints. Hair styles were a bit stiff, (Think bouffants and Jackie Kennedy) and make-up was bold, especially with eyeliner. The transition into the 1970s was subtle, it began by channeling the bright colors of the 60s into the disco look of the 70s. I notice that flare pants, sequins, and looser hairstyles became popular. As the new decade progressed, fashion began to take a more casual turn. Hair took a more natural look, and sideburns/beards were back in style for men, and the disco style became toned down, resulting in what is considered to be the "70s hippie" look associated with guitar-playing, folk-singing American nomads.

Mannerism is a form of painting notable for elongated forms, precariously balanced poses, a collapsed perspective, irrational settings, and theatrical lighting. The High Renaissance art was represented by its development of highly realistic linear perspective with the works of Leonardo, Michelangelo and Raphael along with Botticelli, Donatello and Titian representing artistic pinnacles that were to be much imitated by other artists. Mannerism, still a controversial term, followed High Renaissance, and was later replaced by the Baroque style.
