Features: "The Northern Renaissance in Art" is one of Benesch's representative works, completed in 1944 during World War II when the author was in the United States to escape the turmoil. To this day, it remains an important reference book for many scholars studying Northern European art during the Renaissance. As a member of the Vienna School, Benesch was deeply influenced by Dvo?ák, and many chapters in this book show clear continuity with Dvo?ák's "Art History as a Spiritual History." Benesch views artworks and their history as part of social and cultural life, and examines the rich content of art history from this broad perspective. It goes without saying that the author's research methodology offers significant insights for us.
