In the Italian renaissance the art called Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci became really popular. The Mona Lisa captures the features of the 24 year old woman. In both the Italian and the Harlem Renaissance, there were influential aritst. The Italian Renaissance included artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo while the Harlem Renaissance included artists like Jacob Lawrence.
The Harlem Renaissance music was the sound of jazz. Jazz was popular throughout the Harlem citizens. It was beginning to be popular worldwide. In the Harlem Renaissance jazz(music) was very important but in the Italian Renaissance it focused mostly on the art and architecture.
The writing in the Harlem Renaissance was very similar to the Italian Renaissance. The only difference is that in the Italian Renaissance many scholars preferred to write in Latin. Many great literary works were made in both the Renaissance. The Harlem Renaissance ws very similar to the Italian Renaissance but it also has its differences.
