"Portrait of a Young Girl" by Petrus Christus
Petrus Christus was the first artist to set his portraits against a naturalistic background, as opposed to a flat plain. In this painting, we no longer see the
sitter in front of a neutral background, but poised within a defined space.

"The Virgin Among the Virgins" by Gerard David
David was a direct student of Memling, whose influence is visible in David's stylistic solemnity, the great realism in his rendering of the human form, and
the orderly arrangement of his figures.

"The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymous Bosch
The work of Bosch often exhibits visible brush strokes, a factor that is in direct opposition to the style of the Flemish school, which sought to conceal the
brush with numerous layers of paint and glaze. As seen in "The Garden of Earthly Delights," Bosch's work employs more dream-like imagery and is
seemingly less concerned with direct illusionism compared to the Flemish masters.
