Flemish School

The Flemish School refers to a group of influential artists from the Flanders region (now Belgium) during the 15th and early 16th centuries. Known for their detailed realism, vibrant colors, and innovative use of oil paints, these painters like Jan van Eyck and Hieronymus Bosch revolutionized Northern European art. Their work often depicted religious themes, daily life, and fantastical scenes with meticulous craftsmanship. The Flemish School significantly impacted European art, blending Gothic traditions with emerging Renaissance ideas, and laid the groundwork for future developments in painting styles and techniques.
