Many northern European artists turned to painting portraits and landscapes during the Renaissance because of a growing interest in Humanism and the natural world. The rise of a wealthy merchant class created a demand for personal and family portraits that reflected individual identity and status. Additionally, advancements in oil painting techniques allowed for greater detail and realism in landscapes, which appealed to collectors and patrons. This shift also coincided with the increased appreciation for nature, leading artists to explore and depict their surroundings more vividly.
