Ommegang Of Brussels
The Ommegang of Brussels (french: Ommegang de Bruxelles, nl, Ommegang van Brussel) is a traditional Ommegang, a type of medieval pageant, celebrated annually in Brussels, Belgium. Originally, the Ommegang was the largest lustral procession of Brussels, taking place once a year, on the Sunday before Pentecost. Since 1930, it has taken the form of a historical reenactment of the Joyous Entry of Emperor Charles V and his son, Philip II, in Brussels in 1549. As such, it joins the tradition of the great processions of notable riders and giants that are found everywhere in Belgium and northern France. Nowadays, the event takes place twice a year, at the turn of June and July. It is organised by ''Ommegang Oppidi Bruxellensis'', an association close to the City of Brussels. Its starting point is in the Sablon/Zavel district in Brussels' historic centre and it ends with a large spectacle at the Grand-Place/Grote Markt (Brussels' main square). Since 2019, it is recognised as a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Staffage
In painting, staffage () are the human and animal figures depicted in a scene, especially a landscape, that are not the primary subject matter of the work. Typically they are small, and there to add an indication of scale and add interest. Before the adoption of the word into the visual arts in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, ''Staffage'' in German could mean "accessories" or "decoration". The word can be used in two senses: as a general term for any figures in a work, even when they are, at least ostensibly, the main subject, and as a descriptive term for figures to whom no specific identity or story is attached, included merely for compositional or decorative reasons. In the latter sense, staffage are accessories to the scene, yet add life to the work; they provide depth to the painting and reinforce the main subject, as well as giving a clear scale to the rest of the composition. During the Baroque, painters such as Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain commo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hendrick De Clerck
Hendrick de Clerck (c. 1560 – 27 August 1630) was a Flemish painter active in Brussels during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Stylistically he belongs to the late Mannerist generation of artists preceding Peter Paul Rubens and the Flemish Baroque, and his paintings are very similar to his contemporary Marten de Vos.Vlieghe, p. 15. His exact date of birth is unknown, but in 1594 he is employed as court painter to Archduke Ernest, a position he continued to hold in the service of the Archdukes Albert and Isabella following Ernest's death in 1596.Laureyssens. Altarpieces Like Marten de Vos in Antwerp De Clerck was responsible for painting new altarpieces for churches in Brussels following the iconoclastic outbreaks of 1566, for which he used the clear visual language common in post-Tridentine Counter-Reformation art. Despite continuing to work through the early decades of the seventeenth-century, when the Baroque language was in full bloom, late works su ...

Lodewijk De Vadder
Lodewijk de Vadder (1605, Grimbergen – 1655, Brussels) was a Flemish Baroque landscape painter, draughtsman, engraver and tapestry designer.Hans Devisscher. "Lodewijk de Vadder" Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online. Oxford University Press. Web. 14 October 2020 His landscapes represent a move away from the Mannerist tradition of landscapes painting in Flemish art towards a more naturalistic approach exemplified by looser brushwork and an emphasis on atmospheric effects. He was the first Flemish landscape painter who painted dune landscapes as the primary feature of his landscapes. While his loose brush handling shows the influence of Rubens and Adriaen Brouwer, his restrained palette shows his awareness of developments in the Dutch Republic.Lodewijk de Vadd ...
