One is Northern and the other is Italian :)
Northern Renaissance: nation-states Italy: city-states Northern: strongly influenced by church Italy: less influenced by church Northern: began after Italy Italy: began before Northern Northern: focused on bible, church Italy: focused on classics (Greek/Roman)
Partially because the people of the Renaissance wanted other people to join them, such as artists and very smart people.
Well, the Renaissance movement in general was started in Italy, by many famous artists in the 15th-16th century. Cities would hire and/or support these artists. After the Renaissance movement started in Italy, many other European countries started to follow it, which led to more artistic and cultural improvements, aswell as an increase in the number of known artists.
'they helped each other out by giving each other food and other clothing and teaching them basic skills
One of them is Leonardo da vinci. I am not sure of the other.

Italian painters emphasized the beauty of the human body. They wanted to show the ideal human form and face. Leonardo and Raphael created beautiful Madonnas, athletic figures that seem to spring to life. Artists in northern Europe, on the other hand, painted with great attention to detail, even if the detail was not flattering. If a merchant had a wart on his face, a northern European artist was likely to include that wart. For the northern European painter, capturing the detail was less important than rendering the real in great detail.
European Artists began to create works that focused on topics other then The Bible and Christianity.
