Compare and contrast the Italian Renaissance and the Northern Renaissance, discussing specific artists and works to support your statements

What will be an ideal response?

Responses will vary depending on artwork selections. Renaissance artists in the north approached composition differently than Italian artists. Northern artists didn't share the scientific principles of composition, nor did they share a personal link to the creators of the Classical past. The Northern Renaissance style evolved out of the late Middle Ages and artists became increasingly absorbed with the countless details of the visible world. Northern Renaissance artists were more concerned with the "look" of their art; color, not form, was significantly important.
