It would appear that ?Flemish Baroque? has come to be regarded as synonymous with ?Antwerp Baroque?. The aim of this publication on art and art production in Brussels in the period 1600?800 is to reconsider the art-historical position of Brussels as a major hub of activity and place of residence for courtiers and artists alike. Attention will focus on matters as diverse as literature, music, housing, and the guild system, besides which aspects of the art trade, style differentiation and case studies relating to individual artists will be discussed. In the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, the Habsburg Court was viewed as the supreme creative centre, where systems of symbols were forged and propagated that were designed to display both the artist?s craftsmanship and the ruler?s piety.
