Early Netherlandish painting is a term art historians use to designate a group of painters who were active primarily in the Low Countries in the 15th and early 16th centuries, approximately the period starting with Van Eyck and ending with Gerard David.They embodied at the same time the culmination of the Middle Ages and the transition to Renaissance.
The period corresponds to the Italian Renaissance, but the style is generally not seen as a part of the Renaissance. The art is usually categorized as Early Renaissance or Late Gothic painting.[1] [May 2007]
