What most distinguishes northern European Baroque painting from Italian Baroque painting?

Northern European Baroque painting is primarily characterized by its emphasis on realism, attention to detail, and genre scenes, often depicting everyday life and domestic interiors. In contrast, Italian Baroque painting focuses more on grandeur, dramatic lighting, and religious themes, showcasing emotional intensity and dynamic compositions. Additionally, Northern artists like Rembrandt and Vermeer often utilized a more subdued color palette and subtle textures, whereas their Italian counterparts, such as Caravaggio and Rubens, employed vibrant colors and bold contrasts to evoke strong emotions and theatricality.

How did the Dutch painters differ from the Baroque painters who were their contemporaries?

I believe they were more ''genre artists'' ,in the sense that they were -inluenced by their religion which was and is , Protestantism -more focused on depicting every day life domestic scenes and also moralising scenes with emphasis on the details.This was not true for Italian artists for example, who depicted more allegorical and mythology-influenced scenes in their paintings. In the bottom line , I think the main differences were based on religion :Italy and other countries were expressing the baroque style in their churches and religious paintings or statues whereas Dutch baroque painters were restricted by Protestantism in depicting domestic scenes. In my opinion this fact helped them create masterpieces too and lead to the resurgence of many great artists of the time in Holland.
