Ancient Asian art
The history of Asian art or Eastern art, includes a vast range of influences from various cultures and religions.
Developments in Asian art historically parallel those in Western art, in general a few centuries earlier.
Chinese art🎨, Indian art, Korean art, Japanese art🎨, each had significant influence on Western art, and, vice versa.
Near Eastern art also had a significant influence on Western art. Excluding prehistoric art, the art of Mesopotamia represents the oldest forms of Asian art.

From an Antwerp family of painters, Joachim Beuckelaer (1533-1575) trained in the studio of Pieter Aertsen.

Edouard Toudouze | Genre painter

His father, Auguste Gabriel Toudouze (1811-1854) was an architect and engraver.
His mother, Adèle Anaïs Colin (1822-1899), a well known illustrator, was the daughter of Alexandre-Marie Colin and a descendant of Jean-Baptiste Greuze.
Adriaen Brouwer (1605-1638) | Genre painter
Adriaen Brouwer (Oudenaarde, c. 1605 - Antwerp, January 1638) was a Flemish painter🎨 active in Flanders and the Dutch Republic in the first half of the 17th century.
Brouwer was an important innovator of genre painting through his vivid depictions of peasants, soldiers and other 'lower class' individuals engaged in drinking, smoking, card or dice playing, fighting, music making etc. in taverns or rural settings.
Brouwer contributed to the development of the genre of tronies, i.e. head or facial studies, which investigate varieties of expression.
In his final year he produced a few landscapes of a tragic intensity. Brouwer's work had an important influence on the next generation of Flemish and Dutch genre painters.
