15th-Century Art in Northern Europe

The Art History credentials document competencies including knowledge of world art, fine and applied art, and the historical events and people that influenced and created historical art. Though many positions in art history require appropriate education at various levels and additional training, a fundamental understanding of art history provides foundational knowledge that supports many aspects of daily tasks and decision-making for artists, teachers, art therapists, tour guides, librarians, curators, designers, and researchers. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to describe artistic innovations found in the fifteenth-century northern Europe, including well-known examples of art and artists from this period, locations of this art, and historical events that influenced this art.
