About Belgian Art
Landscape, portraiture, Symbolism and other modern approaches developed through local institutions and international exchanges. Earlier works associated with places now within Belgium may be catalogued as Flemish or Netherlandish, reflecting the political and cultural circumstances of their time.
Modern borders are helpful for navigation but should not erase historical distinctions. Use the artist, movement and date links to place individual works more precisely. A Belgian association does not mean that every image depicts a Belgian location.
