The document discusses Baroque art in Northern Europe between 1600-1700, focusing on developments in Flanders, the Dutch Republic, France, and England. It describes Peter Paul Rubens as the dominant artist in Flanders, known for his large scale paintings using vibrant colors and dramatic brushwork to depict religious and mythological scenes. In the Dutch Republic, artists like Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Hals turned from religious subjects to focus more on genre works, landscapes, and portraiture, capturing moments in time and interior spaces with complex lighting effects.
