Southern Renaissance came first and focused on humanism, which is gloryfing man and focuses on human values, The southerm, or Italian Reniaissance, refered back to the classical styles of the Greeks, making ideal images. The Northern Renaissance however approached at a much slower rate and can also be classified as Late Gothic. Unlike the secular styles that the southern art sometimes portrayed, the Northern art stayed focused more on religion. These pieces used alot of iconography to display symbolism in there works. Also different types of medians were used. The Italians used a lot of Fresco which is actually mixing the dyes of the paint with the plaster in the wall as it dryed to paint a mural, versus just painting on the exterior of the plaster itself. The Northerners painted on a lot of wood, and made diptych and triptychs.

There were only two major Renaissances in Europe. There was the Northern Renaissance and the Italian Renaissance. If you want to know the differences, there is a link below to help you learn the difference between the two and what caused them to happen in different time periods.
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)

The Northern Renaissance is still based on Christian values, which leads to the rise of Christian Humanists.Northern Renaissance was not different. Northern Renaissance was just like Italian.
Florence in Italy was the birthplace of the Renaissance and from there is spread through France to Northern Europe. With the Renaissance movement came humanism which had a huge impact on religion in Northern Europe. It lead to the arrival of the Reformation and the turmoil that came with it. Catholicism in Italy however remained untouchable. Protestantism never really happened in Italy. With regard to art. In Italy artists still did religious themed paintings but also started depicting the VIPees of the era and putting them in backgrounds from Ancient Greece and Rome. This never really caught on in Northern Europe (at least not in the extent as in Italy). In Northern Europe they continued depicting religious figures for a much longer period of time. Later on they abandoned this and focused on depicting scenes from daily life, painting ordinary people and ordinary scenes (Breughel and Van Eyk). The Italian Renaissance Men and Women did not do this.

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.
