Northern Renaissance artists developed the technique of oil painting, which allowed for greater detail, richer colors, and enhanced realism in their works. This method enabled artists to layer glazes, creating depth and luminosity that were previously unattainable with tempera paints. Additionally, they often focused on intricate textures and naturalistic representations, reflecting the surrounding environment and daily life. Notable figures like Jan van Eyck exemplified this innovation, transforming the landscape of European art.
