Flanders in the 15th century 
The most powerful rulers north of the Alps 
during the first three-quarter of the 15th century 
were the dukes of Burgundy. They controlled 
Flanders, which derived its wealth from wool 
and banking, and were great art patrons.
Flanders in the 15th century 
• Active and prosperous capitalist society 
• Emergence of a new social class 
• Importance of art and patronage to show the 
new wealth
Oil Revolution 
• In Italy: tempera – egg 
• Oil paint produces exceptionally rich colors 
• imitate natural hues and tones 
• Enamel-like surfaces 
• Sharp details 
• Good conservation in wet climates 
• Slow drying – more possibilities for 
“pentimenti”
Oil painting 
Flemish painters popularized the use of oil 
paints on wood panels. By superimposing 
translucent glazes, they created richer colors 
than possible using tempera or fresco.
International Gothic until 1450

Altarpieces 
A major art form in churches and private homes 
alike was the altarpiece with folding wings. In 
Robert Campin’s Mérode altarpiece, the 
Annunciation takes place in a Flemish house. 
The work’s donors, depicted on the left wing are 
anachronistically present as witnesses to the 
sacred event. Typical of “Northern Renaissance” 
painting, the everyday objects depicted often 
have symbolic significance.
