Flemish painting

Flemish painting refers to the style of richly detailed and realistic art produced in the historical region of Flanders (modern-day Belgium) during the 15th and 16th centuries. Known for its vibrant colors, intricate textures, and masterful use of light and shadow, it often features religious themes, detailed landscapes, and everyday life scenes. Prominent artists like Jan van Eyck and Peter Paul Rubens exemplify this tradition, demonstrating exceptional skill in portraiture, oil painting techniques, and capturing human emotion. Flemish painting played a key role in the European Renaissance, emphasizing naturalism and meticulous craftsmanship.
