Discovering Belgian Art
Among the achievements of the Belgian artists are the invention of the oil painting technique, the fostering of remarkable pictorial styles and a whole questioning of the notion of "reality" as such. Art Historian Mariano Akerman reveals the singularity and originality of a select group of Belgian masterpieces. He examines their style and meaning, historical context, aesthetic qualities and raisons d'être, appreciating them from unexpected, innovative perspectives.
