History of Belgium

Independence: 4 October 1830 from the Netherlands

The art of tapestries flourished in medieval Flanders. They brought color and warmth to the bare stone walls of the castles. Throughout the 16th and 17th century, the ateliers of Brussels produced tapestries unsurpassed in their artistic brilliance. On festive days such as the Brussels Ommegang, or "Joyous Entries" of sovereigns and governors, streets and facades were adorned with exquisite tapestry hangings. Silk, gold and silver threads were used in the weft for royal orders. Sometimes precious stones gave the tapestries an added luster. At that time, generations of art dealers, located in Antwerp, had commercial relations with all important european towns, and sent hundreds of tapestries to Vienna, Venice, London, Paris, Madrid, Krakow, Lisbon, etc... All merchants of the new American colonies were represented there.

  Belgian Culture   -   Wikipedia
A discussion of Belgian culture requires discussing both those aspects of cultural life shared by 'all' or most of the Belgians, regardless of what language they speak, and also, the differences between the main cultural communities, the Flemings and the French-speakers from Brussels and Wallonia.
