James E. Snyder (1928–1990) was an American art historian, specializing in Northern Renaissance art. His Northern Renaissance Art of 1985 was a standard textbook on the subject for several decades, with a posthumous revised edition in 2005, revised by Larry Silver and Henry Luttikhuizen,[1][2] being somewhat replaced by Jeffrey Chipps Smith's The Northern Renaissance of 2004.[3] Snyder taught at Bryn Mawr College from 1964 until his retirement in 1989. He died of liver disease in August 1990, aged 62.[4]
He is not to be confused with the American museum director and art historian, James S. Snyder (born 1952).
