16th century ,
Hermitage Museum The 16th century saw the development of architectural painting as a separate genre in Western art. The main centers in this period were Flanders and the Netherlands. The first important architectural painter was Dutch
Hans Vredeman de Vries (1527–1607), who was both an architect and a painter. Students of Hans Vredeman de Vries, both in Flanders and in the Netherlands, include his sons Salomon and Paul, and
Hendrik van Steenwijk I. Through them the genre was popularized and their family and students turned it into one of the main domains of
Dutch Golden Age painting.
