This essay should be seen as a complement and update to an earlier effort by the author with a similar charge: Larry Silver, “The State of Research: Northern European Art of the Renaissance Era,” Art Bulletin 68 (1986): 518–35. The change in period designation from Renaissance to early modern is just one index of the changes to be surveyed below. Interested readers who want to see the material of the “Golden Age” of Dutch and Flemish art can also now consult a recent essay on this “sequel” period by Mariët Westermann, “After Iconography and Iconoclasm: Current Research in Netherlandish Art, 1566–1700,” Art Bulletin 84 (2002): 351–72. I am deeply grateful to Jeffrey Chipps Smith, Articles Editor of Renaissance Quarterly, for his invitation to take on this challenging assignment.
