Dutch and Flemish Renaissance

Dutch and Flemish Renaissance was a highly multifaceted artistic period during the 16th Century, a a response to the development and cultural influence of the Italian Renaissance artists. Dutch and Flemish Renaissance incorporates many different styles of painting based on Italian Renaissance influences such as Mannerism, while other artists such as Pieter Brughel the Elder were also responsible for popularizing landscape painting and genre painting, or painting man in his natural condition (i.e. through scenes of everyday life).
