Question

Which of the following statements correctly identifies a fundamental difference among Renaissance artists in the North and those in Italy?

a.
Northern artists depicted fanciful scenes, while Italian artists focused on every-day life.
b.
Italian artists, inspired by classical Greek and Roman art, idealized the human form whereas Northern artists focused on man’s imperfections.
c.
Northerners, such as Christopher Marlowe, focused on human actions, rather than the punishments of God.
d.
Italian artists stressed the importance of leading a meaningful life while Northerners focused on human frailty.

Answer 1

It's B. Because in the north, you have books like Utopia, and the Praise of Folly. Whereas in Italy, you have people in awe at Greek, and Roman society, and inspired by the philosophers of their era, and want to restart a golden age of knowledge. Like Leonardo da Vinci, making both art, and marvelous inventions. Hope this helped =3
