Category talk:Flemish painter stubs

Proposing other Flemish artist stubs, because this one is overly inclusive

This Category:Flemish painter stubs includes the following engravers: Philibert Bouttats, Lievin Cruyl, Pieter de Bailliu, Abraham de Bruyn, Nicolaes de Bruyn, Johann Theodor de Bry, Arnold de Jode, and François Eisen, none of whom appeared to be painters. It also includes the illustrator, Lambert de Vos.

There are a number of multidisciplinary artists who did other media besides painting: Henri van der Haert, "a Belgian portrait painter, sculptor, illustrator and engraver," Lambert Lombard, "a Renaissance painter, architect," and Adam van Noort, "a Flemish painter and draughtsman."

The criteria of "mainly active between 1581 and 1830" would also exclude Lancelot Blondeel (Poperinge, 1498 – Bruges, 4 March 1561), and probably should be eliminated.

I plan to propose the following stubs at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals:

• Template:Flemish-engraver-stub for the Flemish engravers.
• Template:Flemish-artist-stub, which would include the multidisciplinary artists, including Jacques Coene (not in this category), and Lambert de Vos, the illustrator.

Also, we may want to think about dividing some of the Flemish painters into century birth stubs, like the Category:French painter stubs and Category:Italian painter stubs:

• Template:Flemish-painter-16thC-stub
• Template:Flemish-painter-17thC-stub
• Template:Flemish-painter-18thC-stub
