EMH is leading a charge to promote the northern renaissances.  It has gained support from KBC Bank NV, through the Rockox House in Antwerp. In 2011 Ellys Manor House had on show for one year, one of Antwerp’s most amazing tapestries – the mytho-logical garden of love. The tapestry was woven in Brussels or Tournai, ca. 1500 – 1520. This magical and unique building, already boasts what is said to be the most complete, extensive and important domestic decoration in the country, dating from around 1500.

An extract from the Book; Masters of Netherlandish Art, by Stephan kemperdick, Rogier van der Weyden. Forgotten and rediscovered: early Netherlandish painting. As follow: -

This new manner of painting was to determine the style of art in western and central Europe and the Iberian Peninsula for a long time to come. Even the Italian Renaissance was not unaffected. North of the Alps, the style strongly influenced not only painting but also graphic works and sometimes even sculpture for over a century, and even artists like the German painters Albrecht Durer (1471 – 1528) and Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/98 – 1543), who eventually ushered in the High Renaissance, owed an incalculable debt, whether directly or indirectly, to Early Netherlandish painting.
