Why does Netherlands have the best art?

It's realistic, that's how I imagine all artists
Jason Parker
Aaaaayyyyy Vermeer is my favorite artist. I want to travel to Delft just to admire his paintings.
Jaxon Allen
Don't ask, no one knows
>It's realistic
Ah yes, the great realist painters like Bosch or Brueghel the elder
Jayden Perry
Escher and Mondriaan are the most realistic.
Parker Murphy
Mark Rothko and Yves Klein are the best hyperrealist painters in history.
Brody Wright
More like the most overrated kitch in the world.
Anthony Powell
Hhhmmm, sorry sweaty but you

Kayden Adams

Xavier Lopez
My favorite painter. He was a one trick pony in the sense that he only painted young women in domestic ambients but he mastered it to the purest extend.
To present day you can tell a painting by Bougereau just by the topic and the realism depicted. His use of shadows and light is flawless.
Andrew Rivera
>in the sense that he only painted young women in domestic ambients
What? That's completely false
>To present day you can tell a painting by Bougereau just by the topic and the realism depicted
He used all the commonplaces one can find in painting's history (it's not a bad thing, just nothing to be particularly proud of)
>His use of shadows and light is flawless.
He paints like an over-gifted autistic child. Some pretty stuff.
Gabriel Gomez
Yuck
Brandon Miller
You can give him credit that nobody wanted to paint in that style after him

The biggest difference between old Dutch and foreign portraits, is that in other countries they painted royalty.
The Netherlands painted common folk due to our egalitarian nature.
Levi Wilson
for me, it's Klimt
Leo Jackson
Pic related composed a minimum of his whole collection of artworks. You can tell he didn't feel comfortable depicting this kind of sceneries. The lighting looks fucked up and it doesn't give a sense of depth to the scene.
His anatomical proportions IMO are correct, so that a good thing but this kind pf paintings are subpar when compared with his multiple portraits of young females.
He was the best there is at what he did, there's no point on arguing about it.
Ayden King
>no sense of depth
>lights fucked up
don't you think he may be trying to say something with these, uh?
Angel Turner
Yeah, for sure. And religious sceneries put me in an uncomfortable situation since you could argue with a broad sense of right that he did it on purpose in order to depict the divine nature of Christ and The Holy Mother.
However, if we look deeper into the rest of his artwork this trend continues, the main figures in this setting just don't blend with the scenery as good as they do on his portraits.
I'm not too familiar with Bougereau's biography but I'd say this kind of paintings were more of a customer's petition.
