Belgium has given the world some of Europe’s most important artistic movements. In Ghent and Bruges, the Northern Renaissance flourished with the genius of the Van Eyck brothers and Hans Memling, whose altarpieces revolutionized the use of oil paint and detail. In Antwerp, the Baroque reached dazzling heights with Peter Paul Rubens, whose dynamic canvases embodied the drama and power of 17th-century art. In Brussels, the 20th century saw the rise of Surrealism, with René Magritte redefining how we see reality itself.
