Early Netherlandish painting is the body of work by artists active in the Burgundian and Habsburg Netherlands during the 15th- and 16th-century Northern Renaissance. Their output follows the International Gothic style and begins approximately with Robert Campin and Jan van Eyck (painting pictured) in the early 1420s, and lasts until at least the death of Gerard David in 1523 or to the start of the Dutch Revolt in 1566 or 1568. Other major figures include Rogier van der Weyden, Dieric Bouts, Petrus Christus, Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes and Hieronymus Bosch. They made significant advances in natural representation and illusionism, and typically incorporated complex iconography. Their subjects were usually religious scenes or small portraits. Painted works are generally in oils on panel, either as single panels or complex altarpieces in the form of diptychs, triptychs or polyptychs. The era is further noted for its sculpture, tapestries, illuminated manuscripts, stained glass and carved retables. (Full article...)
