Hispano-Flemish School
Hispano-Flemish School describes an art movement in Spain that combines the realism of the southern Dutch Ars Nova with regional characteristics, Italian influences and the aftermath of the International Gothic. In comparison with the Flemings, a more toned, less brightly colored coloring can be observed, as well as a preference for gilding and stucco ornamentation.
In the Kingdom of Aragón with the regions of Catalonia and Valencia , the Flemish Ars Nova was received early on. The Spanish trade connections created the basis for artistic exchange, and in 1431 King Alfonso V of Aragon sent his court painter Lluís Dalmau to Bruges in Flanders so that he could acquire the new technique of oil painting there.
The ideas and painting techniques of the Flemish people were not only used in an epigonal sense for a long time, but often to stimulate completely independent compositions. The main exponents of the Hispano-Flemish style are Lluís Dalmau (around 1400–1460) and Bartolomé Bermejo (around 1430 – around 1501), who worked in Aragon and Barcelona, among others . Other artists from this period are the Catalan Jaume Huguet (1412–1492) and the influential Fernando Gallego from Salamanca (around 1440–1507).
