Northern Renaissance versus Italian Renaissance Italian Renaissance's main medium were Frescos. In Northern Europe, they used oil. (See DaVinci's "The Last Supper" and Jan Van Eyck's "Arnolfini Wedding") During the Reformation and Counter Reformation, Italian painters made Catholic Church commissioned paintings. In the North, the paintings had far more secular subjects, and they had darker religious themes (if indeed the subject were religious). See artists/architects: Italian Renaissance Artists: Giotto, Donatello, Ghiberti, Brunelleschi, Masaccio, Boticelli, DaVinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Palladio, Caravaggio, Gentileschi*, Bernini* Non-Italian Renaissance Artists: Limbourg Brothers, Christine de Pizan, Campin, Van der Weyden, Durer, Grunewald, Bosch, Bruegel, Rubens*, Rembrant*, Vermeer* * indicates a post Renaissance theme (Mannarism, Baroque, etc)

Northern portraits are largely characterized by a cool/cold Northern light and diffused subltle shading, as opposed to the warmer Italian portraits with their dramatic shadows. Also, their posing reflects much more in the way of what the Scandinavians saw as a religious humility when compared to the individulaistic bravura of the Italians.
The main ideas and values of the Northern Renaissance included humanism, individualism, a focus on the natural world, and an interest in classical learning and texts. Artists and scholars in the North emphasized realism, observation of nature, and the importance of the individual's experience. Religious themes were also prominent, though they were often presented in a more personal and emotive way than in the Italian Renaissance.
Northern Italy was more suitable in many ways for the birthplace of the Renaissance because of the way of life there.

It developed many ways. One way was the protestant reformation and also the the new advances in geographical and science.

In Italy, especially central and northern Italy, the Renaissance had started by 1350. It didn't extend to Northern Europe till perhaps 1480 or so. Nowadays, many historians talk about 'the extended Renaissance period' meaning about 1400 to 1700. Renaissance happened between the centuries 14 and 17 in Italy at the beginning and then Europe. It affected the lives of millions and changed the way people were thinking. A+LS from about 1300 to 1600 AD
