The art of Northern Italy is renowned for its distinctive characteristics, often contrasting with the Florentine emphasis on drawing and linear perspective. The Venetian School, for instance, championed a revolutionary use of color, light, and atmosphere, known as "colorito." Masters like Titian, Paolo Veronese, and Tintoretto created dramatic, emotionally charged works, from grand mythological scenes to intimate portraits, all pulsating with vibrant hues and dynamic compositions. Further west, in Lombardy, Leonardo da Vinci's time in Milan influenced a more scientific and psychological approach, evident in his iconic use of sfumato and chiaroscuro, adding profound depth and realism to his subjects. Meanwhile, artists like Andrea Mantegna in Padua brought a rigorous classical influence and precise draughtsmanship to their powerful and monumental works.

Beyond these giants, the artistic landscape of Northern Italy was incredibly diverse, encompassing the refined elegance of Correggio in Parma, the expressive naturalism of the Carracci family in Bologna, and the detailed narratives of Giovanni Bellini. Each city and school contributed its unique flavor, resulting in an astonishing array of styles, themes, and techniques.
