Flemish painter. His visit to Italy in 1508 started a new vogue in Flanders for Italianate ornament and classical detail in painting, including sculptural nude figures, as in his Neptune and Amphitrite (c. 1516, Staatliche Museen, Berlin).

His early works, in a purely Flemish style, include the Adoration of the Magi (National Gallery, London), and The Upright Judges (Musée Royal des Beaux-Arts, Antwerp). His triptych of Adam and Eve, (1516, Berlin), on the other hand, clearly shows the influence of his visit to Italy.

Red stands for sovereignty. White represents purity. Green recalls the coastal inhabitants and is a symbol of hope. Effective date: 14 October 1958. >>
