The Protestant Reformation in holland influenced a shift away from religious paintings while portraiture and genre paintings, or scenes of everyday life, grew in popularity. A focused attention to detail coupled with a sense of realism in the depiction of subjects brought about naturalism within Northern European paintings.

The fine art of Flemish region (historically an area including and surrounding present-twenty-four hour period Belgium) displays a robust materialism and technical accomplishment, with Flemish artists being among the first to utilise oil paints.

It witnessed the ascension of a number of popular artists whose work was desired well across their country's boundaries and thus had a broad influence. In , Holland experienced the "Golden Age of Dutch Art," a menstruum that displayed numerous specialized categories of paintings. In improver to portraits and historical scenes, there appeared pop scenes of peasant life, townscapes, pastoral landscapes, nevertheless lifes and maritime paintings, amidst others. - Charles Mo, Director of Fine art at The Mint Museum
