 The Triumph of the Innocents
He also provides Hunt with a means of using an iconographic device common in Early Netherlandish painting, for as a complex type of martyr, priest, and Christ himself, this little child enforces upon us the fact that the picture's symbols present the Saviour simultaneously as officiating priest and sacrifice.
Both the engravings of Dürer, which Hunt studied in the British Museum, and the various painting of the Flemish Masters he encountered on his 1849 pilgrimage to the continent are obvious sources, and later when he visited Florence and Venice he would have found other congenial examples of this form of illumination.
Furthermore, he succeeded in his lifelong attempt to create a truly English religious painting: drawing upon Protestant interpretations of the Bible, Flemish and German iconography, and Greek, Roman, and Renaissance Italian figure types, Hunt produced a painting that was perceived as characteristically English and yet part of the traditions of art.

 Christ the Pilot
As I have argued elsewhere, Hunt had long been attracted to the pictorial theme of the visionary or symbolic boat, which he had employed in both paintings and book illustrations, but the main inspiration of this triptych lay in Evangelical hymnody.
Although Hunt finally did not complete his projected painting of Christ the Pilot, his last years as an active painter reveal the same concern with appealing directly to the wider public that marked this planned work.

 Course Outline - Victoria and Albert Museum
In the Netherlands the development of oil painting enabled Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden to paint with astonishing fidelity to appearances, while in Italy the impetus of classical antiquity, triggered by humanist scholars, prompted the creation of a new realistic style by Donatello, Ghiberti and Masaccio in Florence.
Netherlandish art itself was influential in Italy, however, notably in the adoption of oil painting and in portraiture.
The period concludes with the French invasions of Italy at the end of the century, the new aesthetic ideal embodied in the transition from early to high Renaissance and the spread of Italian influence north of the Alps, giving Italy an artistic pre-eminence unparalleled before 1500.

 Roger van der Weyden Summary
In its austere and hieratic frontality, the painting displays the influence of Gothic sculpture, yet the absence of demons and other traditional symbols of the tortures of hell suggests a highly subjective, almost modern conception of Christian eschatology.
Weyden's journey to Rome in 1450 is evidenced by two paintings, the Entombment in Florence and the Virgin and Child with Peter, John the Baptist, Cosmas, and Damian in Frankfurt, which are based on unique Italian iconographies, yet remain thoroughly northern in style.
In this painting, his only treatment of the theme of the Adoration of the Magi, Weyden attains a total harmony of fluid surface design with formal balance and clarified spatial organization.
