About This Book
This volume presents the A. W. Mellon Lectures examining the shift in Northern Renaissance painting from symbolic religious imagery to representations of ordinary existence.

The lectures consider the cultural and artistic contexts that shaped this evolution in sixteenth-century European art.
Readers gain insight into changing attitudes toward morality, society, and the role of visual representation during this period.
