=== Mosan art, painting, architecture ===
[[Mosan art]] is a regional style of [[Romanesque art]] from the [[Meuse]] river valley in present-day Wallonia, and the [[Rhineland]], with manuscript illumination, metalwork, and enamel work from the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries. Among them is the masterpiece of [[Renier de Huy]] and perhaps of the whole Mosan art [[Baptismal font at St Bartholomew's Church, Liège]]. The architecture of Roman churches of Wallonia are also named mosan, exemplified by the [[Collegiate Church of Saint Gertrude]] in [[Nivelles]], and the churches of [[Waha]] and [[Hastière]], [[Dinant]]. The [[Ornamental brassware]] is also a part of the Mosan art and among these dinandiers [[Hugo d'Oignies]] and [[Nicholas of Verdun]].

[[Joachim Patinir]] [[Herri met de Bles|Henri Blès]] are generally called [[Mosan art|mosan]] painters.
