The earlies Spanish paintings in the National Gallery of Art reflect the taste of the age of Ferdinand and Isabella (c. 1474-1516). At that time Spanish nobles and prominent clergy imported both paintings and painters from Flanders, which was a very prosperous section of north Europe. It comprised the countries now called Holland, Belgium, and Luxembourg; also it included a number of important centers in northeastern France. During the fifteenth century this area produced magnificent painting, noted for its astonishingly detailed realism. Queen Isabella must have become especially fond of the jewellike Flemish pictures, for she employed two artists from Flandes, Sithium probably studied with Memling in Bruges, while the work of Juan de Flandes shows the influence of Gerard David of that same city.
