Netherlandish Art

Netherlandish Art refers to the visual art produced in the Low Countries (modern-day Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg) from the 15th to the early 17th century. It is characterized by incredible attention to detail, realistic portrayals of everyday life, and complex symbolism. Artists like Jan van Eyck and Hieronymus Bosch created detailed oil paintings, often with religious or moral themes. This art was influential for its technical mastery, vivid realism, and innovative techniques, laying the groundwork for later European art developments. It remains celebrated for its craftsmanship and insightful reflection of the society of that time.
