Description
The Age of Van Eyck focuses on the complex artistic and cultural relationships between Flanders and mediterranean Europe during the period 1430-1530, one of the most fruitful and evocative periods in European cultural history. Published to accompany the exhibition at the Groeningemuseum in Bruges in March 2002, this sumptuous volume combines the latest scholarship with an array of glorious colour reproductions of some of the most important art of the period, such as Van Eyck's altarpiece Madonna with Canon Van der Paele, among other works by Memling, Christus, da Messina, Bellini and Berruguete. An array of internationally renowned scholars have contributed fifteen essays which explore the artistic presence, influence and activities of early Netherlandish painters in foreign countries, thus securing the lasting academic impact of the project.
