Die Flämischen Meister II
More works
Unlike in Holland, the Catholic
Church remained an important patron for religious depictions in 17th-century
Flanders. Rubens in particular produced large altarpieces for many churches and
cloisters with his studio. For private commissions, the Flemish masters worked
on a smaller scale and painted lots of imaginary landscapes and village scenes populated
with peasants and country folk.
