Former Speak Flemish: Temperamental brothers who sleep in the same bed, and a narrow me at that, are bound to be conscious of each other's knees and elbows md the wonder is that these two brothers are able to adjust their persons :o such protuberances and keep the peace. There are approximately nine Flemings to eight Walloons. The former speak Flemish, which is virtually dentical with Dutch. The latter speak French, shading off in country areas o a devious dialect called Walloon. Both Flemish and French are official ongues and government documents, public notices and most street Signs ire set forth in both. The language line runs almost due east and west, just outh of Brussels.
The Flemish oil technique was, like tempera, used for painting panels. However, instead of egg as a binder, the Flemish relied on oil or varnish, which has a certain transparency and leaves the painting with a shiny surface.
The F t major work of Flemish painting, and a model and inspiration for those that followed, was the Ghent altarpiece, a large polyptych in the Cathedral of St. Bavon, Ghent. Most of the panels are probably the work of Hubert van Eyck (1366P-1426), but the altarpiece was completed in 1432 by his brother Jan (1385P-1441).
In general, in night-cities all over Europe, they're as ruthless as they are pretty, so PRENEZ GARDEI If such hazards are remote from your plans you may take refuge in the knowledge that Brussels has a great many movies capable of attracting the unambitious night prowler. Some of the films speak English, showing French and Flemish sub-titles. If in doubt, ask the ticket girl if the American or British film is in the version originate. (That's what the V.O. stands for if you see that on a poster.)
