The House of Habsburg, a prominent European royal family, held significant dominion over a vast region of Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries. Over time, they would emerge as one of the most influential royal families globally. In this era, Mechelen, a city in Belgium, served as a hub of education, attracting numerous Habsburg princes and princesses, including Margaret of Austria and Charles V. Additionally, other influential families sent their children to Mechelen, with Anne Boleyn, who later ascended to the throne of England, being one of the most notable.

The book specifically delves into the portraits of renowned artists like Jan Gossart, Bernard van Orley, and Juan de Flandes. It also features unique paintings by Flemish Masters, adding depth to the exploration. By examining these portraits, Renaissance Children offers valuable insights into the educational values and techniques of the 15th and 16th centuries, shedding light on the artistic and educational environment of one of the most significant royal houses in European history.
