Flemish painters are often overlooked, sometimes forgotten. This is probably a consequence of the overwhelming predominance of Rubens and his pupils in Flemish art in the first half of the seventeenth century, which somewhat overshadowed the importance of certain other artists who nevertheless had successful careers. The commissions they received on their return from Italy are evidence of this, as for their foreign colleagues, this journey was almost a necessary condition for the practice of their profession.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/blockquote\u003E\n"}
