The German and Flemish 1400s and 1500s
Northern Renaissance
Oil and engraving from Germany and the Low Countries. Cranach's slender Venuses and Edens, Dürer's needle-fine prints, Memling's quiet devotion, Holbein's level gaze. Jewelled colour, hard clear line, and a love of the smallest detail.
As a puzzle
A precise, rewarding build. The crisp drawing and saturated colour give nearly every piece a sharp identity, and Dürer's dense engraved lines are a gift to the eye. The plain dark grounds and pale skies are the patient stretch. Lovely from medium counts upward.
A good size here: 60–250 pieces.
