Flemish Baroque refers to a style of art and architecture that emerged in the Flanders region of modern-day Belgium during the 17th century. Characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, rich colors, and dynamic compositions, this movement was heavily influenced by the earlier Renaissance and the Counter-Reformation. Prominent artists of the Flemish Baroque include Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck, who are known for their vibrant paintings and portraits. The style often depicted religious themes, historical events, and everyday life, showcasing both grandeur and emotional depth in their works.
