General Characteristics
"Flemish", in the context of this and artistic periods such as Flemish Primitives, often includes the regions not associated with modern Flanders, including the Duchy of Brabant and the autonomous Prince-Bishopric of Liège.

Brussels was important as the location of the court, attracting David Teniers the Younger later in the century.

Famous quotes containing the word general:
“Every gazette brings accounts of the untutored freaks of the wind,—shipwrecks and hurricanes which the mariner and planter accept as special or general providences; but they touch our consciences, they remind us of our sins. Another deluge would disgrace mankind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
