    At the beginning of the 16th century, with the weakening of feudalism and the influence of the Church, the foundations for the development of art, music and science were struck.

    The crucial to this development was the invention of the printing press (Johannes Gutenberg), which enabled not only the rapid transfer of scientific and political ideas (in Latin and Greek), but also the development of literature in vernacular languages.

    Explanation:

    The Northern European Renaissance encompasses the Western European Renaissance art created north of the Alps mainly during the 16th century.

    Later, the Renaissance in the north was shaped by numerous clashes between Protestant groups and the Catholic Church (Protestant Reformation), with the religious division of northern Europe occurring, which was most evident in the division of the Netherlands, which was by then leading the way in the art of northern Europe.

    Erazmo Rotterdam, for example, was an important person who spread the ideas of classicist humanism in the north and was a key figure during religious issues of the time.
