Comparing Northern & Southern Renaissance Works The styles and subject matters of Northern and Italian artists do have their differences when looked at closely.

For the North it was Protestantism for the south it was Catholicism. The North faced a more austere and miserable environment which is somewhat represented in their work whereas the south were more focused on bringing out the religious imagery of the Bible in their artists works.
One of the numerous examples was David McCullough's biography of Harry Truman and Charles Dickens's Oliver Twist. Of course these books are two different text and you wouldn't read them the same way. The biography has text which is made for you to believe every word.
