Explanation:

The Northern Renaissance artists were influenced by multiple factors. Humanism was a key intellectual movement of the Renaissance period that emphasized human values, potential, and achievements. It had a profound impact on art, literature, and culture across Europe, including the Northern Renaissance. The International Gothic style was more of a predecessor in some aspects but not the most heavily influencing factor compared to the overarching humanist ideas. The Reformation was a religious movement that had some impact but not as central as humanism. Byzantine Naturalism was from an earlier and different cultural - artistic context.
