Fantasy
The creative imagination; unrestrained fancy.
The power of the mind to form images.
Fantasy is a genre of art, literature, film, television, and music that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of either plot, theme, or setting
In popular culture, the genre of fantasy is dominated by its medievalist form, especially since the worldwide success of The Lord of the Rings books by J. R. R. Tolkien. In its broadest sense however, fantasy comprises works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians, from ancient myths and legends to many recent works embraced by a wide audience today
Hieronymus Bosch born c. 1450 August 9, 1516) was an Early Netherlandish painter. His work is known for its use of fantastic imagery to illustrate moral and religious concepts and narratives.

Pieter Bruegel the Elder Born c. 1525 9 September 1569 was a Flemish Renaissance painter and printmaker known for his landscapes and peasant scenes.
The most obvious influence on his art is the older Dutch master Hieronymus Bosch, particularly in Bruegel's early "demonological" paintings such as The Triumph of Death and Dulle Griet (Mad Meg).

Hendrick Avercamp (January 27, 1585 (bapt.) - May 15, 1634 (buried)) was a Dutch painter. Avercamp painted in the tradition of Brueghel, filling his airy landscapes with small lively figures skating, sprawling, dancing, and working on the frozen rivers and canals, singly or in groups. His buildings and trees have as much cheerfulness and movement as may be found in the figures, which seem like animated puppets.
