The figure of Christ is larger than those of the disciples in order to draw the viewer's attention to him and make him the focus of the painting, even though he is kneeling on The Mount of Olives, behind the sleeping disciples. This technique is common international gothic style paintings of the early quattrocento, (although this specific painting was later in Botticelli's life) because realism didn't really take off until the mid fifteenth century with artists like Leonardo and Michelangelo. Lots of other factors in the painting show that Botticelli has abandoned his usual naturalist style, such as the foods of the clothes are smoother and less consistent with the shape of the bodies underneath them. The painting is rich with symbolism and like almost all biblical scenes, its purpose is to tell a story and convey a profound meaning, rather than demonstrate his artistic abilities or the wealth of the commissioner.

The art of the Italian and Northern Renaissance shared similar qualities, but also had its differences. As the Italian Renaissance focused more on a rebirth of classic Greco-Roman culture, the art of the time was based off of classical mythology and included famous classic philosophers. In Raphael's School of Athens, Aristotle and Plato are featured in the center of the school. On the contrary, the Northern Renaissance art was characterized by domestic interiors and portraits. Northern Renaissance artists, starting with Jan Van Eyck, began to use different mediums, such as oil paint, to create the art of the movement. The two different eras share a commonality in art through religious themes throughout the art. Christian religious stories and figures were the predominant artistic theme in both times.

In architecture, there was an influence by the Italian Renaissance, particularly by the Italian architect Antonio Palladio who based his work on the Roman architecture textbook by Vitruvius. The Palladian style was very popular in Britain in the mid-17th century where the simplicity of the (Roman) classical style was preferred to the flamboyant Baroque style. It developed into the Neo-Palladian style. It the second half of the 19th century it was rivalled by the Gothic style, but continued to be popular until the early 20th century.

Neoclassicism was also another popular style. It was a revival of Renaissance style in architecture and sculpture in opposition to the Baroque. It begun in the 18th century and is still used today. Neoclassicism also influenced painting, print-making and literature. In 18th century Britain there was the Augustan Literature which was a Neoclassical style.
