First, I didn't really get the question............but I just wanted to point out that the painting is based on Christianity and Mythology.....not a Christian Myth.

The painting depicts the Roman Myth of Venus arising from the sea after she is formed by the foam created by her father's balls being thrown into the sea.

The Christian perspective shows the story as a parallel to Baptism(sometimes even compared to Jesus' Baptism).

How was northern renaissance art similar to and different from the art of the Italian renaissance?

The art of the Italian and Northern Renaissance shared similar qualities, but also had its differences. As the Italian Renaissance focused more on a rebirth of classic Greco-Roman culture, the art of the time was based off of classical mythology and included famous classic philosophers. In Raphael's School of Athens, Aristotle and Plato are featured in the center of the school. On the contrary, the Northern Renaissance art was characterized by domestic interiors and portraits. Northern Renaissance artists, starting with Jan Van Eyck, began to use different mediums, such as oil paint, to create the art of the movement. The two different eras share a commonality in art through religious themes throughout the art. Christian religious stories and figures were the predominant artistic theme in both times.
