Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

1 Paintings of that time in Flanders and Bruges were characterized by the transparent representation of colours, maximum luminosity and brilliant, highly detailed depiction of subject matter!.
2!. The majority of paintings produced were done on wooden panels (In contrast, painting in Italy in 1400s was for the most part - wall painting or fresco )
3 In case you want another characteristic: (in Italy art of time based on Classical models and ideals of beauty) these Flemish Primitives opted for a high level of realism and a naturalistic and sensual representation of man and his environment!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Extreme attention to detail, to the point of miniaturization so fine you need a magnifying glass to see some things!.

Extensive use of symbolism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
