Gerard David,
Hieronymus Bosch, and
Matthias Grünewald
were all early 16th-century artists and contemporaries of the other
Northern artists
Albrecht Dürer,
Lucas Cranach, and
Hans Holbein.
However, the paintings of the former artists maintain connections
with the Gothic tradition, while the latter were strongly influenced
by the Italian
Renaissance.
Thus the two strands of Gothic and Renaissance art coexisted in Northern
Europe in the first half of the 16th century.
