Flemish Painting refers to the art produced in the region of Flanders, now part of modern-day Belgium, during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This style is characterized by its detailed realism, vibrant colors, and innovative use of oil paints, which allowed for greater depth and texture. Prominent artists include Jan van Eyck and Pieter Bruegel the Elder, who are known for their meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture everyday life. The Flemish School of painting flourished from the 15th to the 17th centuries, influencing many European artists. It often featured religious themes, portraits, and landscapes, showcasing the region's wealth and culture. The use of symbolism and intricate compositions became hallmarks of this artistic movement, leaving a lasting legacy in the history of art.
