Belgian Art

Among the achievements of the Belgian artists are the development of the oil painting technique, the fostering of remarkable pictorial styles and the formulation of one of the most incredible questionings of the concept of "reality" in the history of Western art. Art Historian Mariano Akerman reveals the originality of a select group of Belgian masterpieces. He examines their style and meanings, historical context, aesthetic qualities and raison d'être, appreciating them from unexpected, innovative perspectives.
