Historically, Flanders is notable for its impressive achievements in the decorative arts and architecture especially with respect to painting and tapestry production. The style of Brussels Renaissance and later Baroque, tapestry is most typically characterised by the designs of renowned Flemish artists such as Peter Paul Rubens and Bernard van Orley. As one of the leading innovators of 16th century Flemish tapestry design, van Orley - called "the Raphael of the Netherlands" - is credited with adapting the Italian stylistic attributes of monumentality and sculptural relief to Flemish tastes and tradition. No less influential on the Brussels 17th century tapestry industry were the designs and compositions - featuring mythological and religious themes - of master Antwerp painter Peter Paul Rubens.
