Country of origin "The Southern Netherlands" refers to the historical term used for the southern region that encompasses present-day Belgium and the southern part of the Netherlands. (Belgium gained independence from the Netherlands in 1831.) To be more precise, we are contemplating the possibility of a small town in the vicinity of Roermond or Maastricht.

Style specifics Baroque is a style in art and decoration that developed shortly before 1600 and remained current in Europe until the emergence of the Rococo style c.1730. It was started in Italy, and spread to Germany, Austria, the Low Countries, and Spain andPortugal, with only a somewhat severely classical version being popular in France under Louis XIV. The style was a development of the Renaissance style and is characterized by lively, curved, and exuberant forms, by vigorous movement, and by richornament, based on classical sources, being symmetrical as distinguished from the asymmetry of the following Rococo style.
