"Flemish"

[edit]

While art historians writing in English do often (although not always) use "Flemish" for people, methods and styles from the Southern Netherlands (including Mons, Lille, etc.), it is not so much used in general history as it is rather inexact. These days its use is also complicated by the fact that "Flemish" often means "from or to do with the current Flemish Region", which is entirely anachronistic. If there are reliable sources in English that call Drutius "Flemish", go for it, but please also source it. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 13:27, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
