Flemish Baroque
Refers to the style of Western art that existed from the mid- through the late 19th century and developed in reaction to the emotional expressiveness of Romanticism. It is characterized by often socially-conscious subject matter, depictions of figures and landscapes, and techniques that emphasize reality—sometimes with precision and vividness of detail, and sometimes with a loose application of paint.
