Northern Renaissance versus Italian Renaissance Italian Renaissance's main medium were Frescos. In Northern Europe, they used oil. (See DaVinci's "The Last Supper" and Jan Van Eyck's "Arnolfini Wedding") During the Reformation and Counter Reformation, Italian painters made Catholic Church commissioned paintings. In the North, the paintings had far more secular subjects, and they had darker religious themes (if indeed the subject were religious). See artists/architects: Italian Renaissance Artists: Giotto, Donatello, Ghiberti, Brunelleschi, Masaccio, Boticelli, DaVinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Palladio, Caravaggio, Gentileschi*, Bernini* Non-Italian Renaissance Artists: Limbourg Brothers, Christine de Pizan, Campin, Van der Weyden, Durer, Grunewald, Bosch, Bruegel, Rubens*, Rembrant*, Vermeer* * indicates a post Renaissance theme (Mannarism, Baroque, etc)
