Early Netherlandish art |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.06 sec. |
Early Netherlandish artArchitecture, painting, sculpture, and other visual arts produced in Flanders in the late 14th and 15th century under the rule of the dukes of Burgundy. In 1384 Philip II the Bold acquired the countship of Flanders by marriage, and the Flemish-Burgundian political alliance remained intact until 1482. Philip embellished the churches and monasteries of his capital, Dijon, with sculpture, especially that of Claus Sluter, and paintings. His grandson, Philip III the Good, patronized the arts on a grander scale, hiring Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden. Among the masters active until the end of the alliance were Robert Campin, Petrus Christus, Dirck Bouts, Hugo van der Goes, and Hans Memling. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| Friedlander's volume from the series Early Netherlandish Painting in 1972. His chief case study is the history of northern Renaissance art, a field still largely determined by the historiographic principles implicit in Erwin Panofsky's The Life and Art of Albrecht Durer (1943) and Early Netherlandish Painting (1953). Schlie's basic thesis is that the realism of early Netherlandish painting must be understood as a sacramental realism. |
