Southern art relates to humanism in many ways. Humanism is trying to make man a better person. A person with morals and ethics. Southern art displays the beauty of man. South humanism is about life and starting over. These paintings relate a lot about the past and trying to bring it to the present and attempt to make the world a better place. They must improve themselves to try to be like the past. They must educate themselves. They believe in Madonna and live. Many paints show motherly love and the innocence of a kid.

When Humanism hit the north there were many changes. Medieval times were places aside and humanism evolved. The powers of the individual to know God through a private spiritual life. The Northern renaissance focused mainly on death, decay, and Christ. Many pictures depict Christ and death. Many northern paintings were darker and more saddening. It was focused on mysticism and relics. This was because of the era that had just passed. The feudal times and the black plague brought much sadness to Northern Europe. The North viewed the world more as a dark and mysterious place.

Even through the renaissance happened in two different ways, there still was a huge renaissance. Civic humanism and plain humanism quickly spread across the nation. It had affected the north and the south a little differently though. The south focused on beauty of life itself and means of education which is shown in main Madonna and daughter paintings. The north primarily focused on Death, decay, and Christ this is shown in many paintings of Christ being crucified. Also in many paintings there was a mysticism. Southern artists used bright colors and vivid images depicting Adam and Eve. The North used gruesome pictures and showing the death and unfortunate Christ. I think the North had a bit more anger in their paintings while the south showed paintings full of love and happiness.
