Flemish School

Flemish School painting refers to the art movement that emerged in the Southern Netherlands (now Belgium) during the 15th and 16th centuries. The Flemish School was known for its detailed, realistic style and the use of oil paint, which allowed artists to achieve a greater level of realism and detail in their paintings.
 
One of the most notable painters of the Flemish School was Jan van Eyck, who was known for his attention to detail and use of vibrant colors. His most famous work is the Ghent Altarpiece, a complex polyptych that depicts scenes from the life of Christ and other biblical figures.
 
Another famous Flemish painter was Pieter Bruegel the Elder, who was known for his landscape paintings and depictions of peasant life. His most famous work is probably The Tower of Babel, which depicts the construction of the biblical tower and the chaos that ensues.
 
Other notable painters of the Flemish School include Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony van Dyck, and Frans Hals. These artists continued to develop and refine the style of the Flemish School, incorporating new techniques and ideas into their work.
 
Today, the paintings of the Flemish School are highly sought after by collectors and art enthusiasts around the world, and many can be found in museums and galleries throughout Europe and the United States.
