Hispano-Flemish style facts for kids
The Hispano-Flemish style is a special way of making art that was popular in Spain a long time ago. It was named by a Spanish art historian named Elías Tormo. This style mixes ideas from two different art traditions: * The exciting new art ideas from the Northern Renaissance (especially from places like Flanders). * Older Spanish art traditions, particularly the Mudéjar style, which often used Islamic-inspired designs.
This means Hispano-Flemish art looks like a cool blend of northern European and Spanish ideas!
What is Hispano-Flemish Art?
This unique art style was created in Spain, mostly during the late 1400s and early 1500s. This was a very important time, especially when Isabel I of Castile was queen. Artists from both Flanders and Spain worked together or learned from each other to create these pieces.
