In bustling Germany and Belgium, new technologies enable Durer's mass-produced engravings, Van Eyck's meticulous oil paintings, Brueghel's peasants at play, and the futuristic visions of Bosch. | From Italy, the Renaissance spread across Europe, revolutionizing art.

And in France, the excesses of godlike kings gave way to revolution, Napoleon, and cerebral Neoclassicism. | |||
