Flemish art refers to the artistic style and works produced in the region of Flanders, which is part of modern-day Belgium. This art movement flourished during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance, particularly from the 15th to the 17th centuries. It is known for its detailed realism, vibrant colors, and innovative use of oil paint, which allowed for greater depth and texture in artworks. Prominent artists of Flemish art include Jan van Eyck, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and Peter Paul Rubens. Their works often depicted religious themes, landscapes, and everyday life, showcasing the skill and creativity of Flemish painters. The influence of Flemish art extended beyond its borders, impacting the development of art in other European regions.
