Dutch School, Late 15th Century

The designation 'Dutch School, Late 15th Century' refers to anonymous or unattributed works produced by painters working in the northern Low Countries during the final decades of the 1400s. These artists were heavily influenced by the Flemish Primitive tradition, employing meticulous oil painting techniques, rich symbolism, and devotional subject matter rooted in religious patronage. Their works often display characteristics of regional workshops in cities such as Haarlem, Utrecht, and Leiden, reflecting a transitional period between medieval Gothic sensibility and the emerging Renaissance aesthetic.
