Religion was then a more important factor in people's lives than today (in general). This means that it was very important for wealthy people to commisson artworks on religious subjects. Churches and convents also commisioned artworks. One should know that in those days artists never made art without being commissioned.

How was art of the Italian Renaissance similar to and different form art of the Northern Renaissance?

Art of the Italian Renaissance focused on classical themes, humanism, and the use of perspective, emphasizing the beauty of the human form and proportion. In contrast, Northern Renaissance art often featured intricate details, vibrant colors, and a focus on everyday life and religious symbolism, with less emphasis on linear perspective. While both movements shared a commitment to realism and naturalism, the Italian Renaissance was more influenced by Greco-Roman traditions, whereas the Northern Renaissance was shaped by local cultures and the Reformation. This resulted in distinct styles and subject matters that reflected their respective cultural contexts.
