how were the italian renaissance and northern renaissance similar
Confidence votes 48. 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 Northern Europe the Renaissance started during the fifteenth century and lasted through most of the sixteenth century. This Renaissance was heavily influenced by the earlier Italian Renaissance; indeed, it was common for people to travel south across the Alps and return north with the ideas and styles they were exposed to in northern Italy.
