‘Architecturally, as well, the initial changes involved decorative material. For this reason, the early stages of Renaissance art outside Italy are hard to disentangle from late Gothic.... In fact, throughout Europe the “Italian Renaissance” meant, for artists between about 1500 to 1530, the “enjolivement”, or embellishment, of an already rich decorative repertoire with shapes, motifs, and figures adapted from, another canon of taste. The history of the northern artistic Renaissance is in part the story of the process by which artists gradually realised that Classicism represented another canon of taste and treated it accordingly.
