1348 --The Black Death Estimated to have killed 30% – 60% of Europe's population, reducing the world’s population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in 1400. This has been seen as creating a series of religious, social and economic upheavals which had profound effects on the course of European History. It took 150 years for Europe's population to recover.
Because the plague killed so many of the poor population, wealthy land owners were forced to pay the remaining workers what they asked, in terms of wages.
Because there was now a surplus in consumer goods, luxury crops could now be grown. This meant that for the first time in history, many, formerly of the peasant population, now had a chance to live a better life. Most historians now feel that this was the start of the middle class in Europe and England.

Northern EuropeAbsent the memories and ruins of ancient Rome, Northern Europe had lingering cultural connections to its “pagan” past.
A whole pantheon of Norse gods distinct from Greco/Roman existed as did a closer connection to earth based pagan superstitions, and holidays.
A stronger connection to nature and the spirit world, as well as a belief in the “immanence” of spirituality persisted even as Northern Europe Christianized.
Much of this is expressed as attention to worldly DETAILS in art rather than in the “transcendent” themes of Italian art. In other words artists of the European Renaissance saw the spirit immanent in everyday things and therefore lavished great attention to DETAILS in their depiction.
