because the artist developed new techniques and skills
Northern Renaissance artists developed the technique of oil painting, which allowed for greater detail, richer colors, and enhanced realism in their works. This method enabled artists to layer glazes, creating depth and luminosity that were previously unattainable with tempera paints. Additionally, they often focused on intricate textures and naturalistic representations, reflecting the surrounding environment and daily life. Notable figures like Jan van Eyck exemplified this innovation, transforming the landscape of European art.
Landscape art is idealized as a reflection of poetry by many northern artists. Artists from Northern Europe, who had not even visited Italy make their living selling Italianate landscapes.
As Renaissance art moved through Northern Europe, themes adapted to local customs. The Northern artists had a meticulous rendering of details. The artists used symbols to represent the religious meanings in paintings.

The Northern Renaissance artists, however, were scattered about and few in number initially.
Northern Renaissance artists were more concerned with everyday human life and what they saw from day to day. Italian artists were more interested in re-creating Greek and Roman art. (:
