Art

Roman-era art may be seen in Luxembourg, notably in the massive mosaic from Vichten and the statues that can be found all around the nation. Numerous cultural artifacts have been kept in Luxembourg's churches and castles over the years, although almost all of them are attributed to foreign artists. Paintings and maps of the City of Luxembourg and its fortifications from the end of the 16th to the beginning of the 19th century are the first examples of art with a distinct national flavor, while they were also mostly produced by foreign painters.

After becoming a grand duchy in 1815, paintings of Luxembourg and its environs sparked a real interest in art among the nation's own residents in the 19th century. The early 20th century, when Luxembourg painting was at its most prolific, was then marked by an interest in Impressionism and Expressionism, but after World War II, Abstraction started to dominate the art world. There are many successful contemporary painters working today, some of whom have achieved widespread international acclaim.
