16th Century Europe in the North – Religious Change
- Challenges to the status quo of the Roman Catholic Church
- Holland – Desiderius Erasmus (reform from within)
- Germany – Martin Luther (Lutheran)
- Switzerland – John Calvin (Calvinism)
- England – Henry VIII
- Protestantism led to iconoclasm (deliberate destruction of religious images)
- Dislike of religious images led to development of other genres
- Conflicts became military in nature
- As tide swung one way or another, artists often found themselves on “the wrong side”
