Early Northern Renaissance paintings were characterized by a greater emphasis on detailed realism, intricate textures, and the use of oil paints, allowing for rich color and fine detail. In contrast, Italian Renaissance art focused more on classical themes, idealized forms, and the use of fresco techniques, often drawing inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art. Additionally, Northern artists often incorporated symbolism and religious themes with a more personal touch, while Italian artists emphasized perspective and human anatomy.
