and cultural center, rivalling that of Northern Italy. The trading towns of
Ghent, Bruges and Ypres became some of the richest and most urbanized parts
of Europe. Art and architecture flourished, producing painters such as Van
Eycke, van Dyck, Memling and Reubens, all renowned artist of the Flemish
School. For over 250 years, Flanders was at the forefront of the finest art
in Western Europe. Today, when we think of Flanders we associate it strongly
with this point in history.
