Belgian Artists | Sitemap

René Magritte | Surrealist painter

Despite its size, Belgium has a long and distinguished artistic tradition that goes back to the Middle Ages, considerably pre-dating the foundation of the current state in 1830.

Art from the areas making up modern Belgium is called in English Netherlandish up to the separation with the Netherlands from 1570 on, and Flemish until the 18th century.

Important monasteries in Belgium were centres of production in Carolingian art and Ottonian art, and later the area producing Romanesque Mosan art is now largely in Belgium.

Veduta | Il Vedutismo

Johannes Vermeer🎨 (Dutch Baroque Era painter, 1632-1675) | View of Delft, 1660-1661 | Mauritshuis, The-Hague

A veduta (Italian for "view"; plural vedute) is a highly detailed, usually large-scale painting or, more often, print of a cityscape or some other vista. The painters of vedute are referred to as vedutisti.

This genre of landscape originated in Flanders, where artists such as Paul Bril painted vedute as early as the 16th century.

In the 17th century, Dutch painters🎨 made a specialty of detailed and accurate recognizable city and landscapes that appealed to the sense of local pride of the wealthy Dutch middle class.

An archetypal example is Johannes Vermeer's🎨 View of Delft.

Bulgarian Artists | Sitemap

Pavel Mitkov, 1977 | Impressionist /Abstract painter🎨

The early impetus of Bulgarian traditions in the arts was cut short by the Ottoman occupation in the 14th century, and many early masterpieces were destroyed.

Native artistic life emerged again in Bulgaria during the national revival in the 19th century.

Among the most influential works were the secular and realist paintings of Zahari Zograph🎨 in the first half of the century and Hristo Tsokev in the second half.
At the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, Bulgarian painters such as Anton Mitov and the Czech-born Ivan Mrkvichka produced memorable works, many of them depicting the daily life of the Bulgarian people.
