Tervuren (Flemish: [tɛrˈvyːrə(n)] ; French: Tervueren [tɛʁvyʁœn]) is a municipality in the province of Flemish Brabant, in the Flemish region of Belgium. The municipality comprises the villages of Duisburg, Tervuren proper, Vossem and Moorsel. On 1 January 2006, Tervuren had a total population of 20,636. 71 sq mi), which gives a population density of 627/km2 (1,620/sq mi). The official language of Tervuren is Dutch, as in the rest of Flanders.

The British School of Brussels has been located in Tervuren since 1970. Tervuren is also home of the English speaking St.

Flanders builds the composition through layered glazes and a tightly controlled palette, letting cool shadows recede so that the warm, lit passages step forward. The brushwork shifts from the precise to the almost dissolved — a hallmark of mature Baroque practice.
