Renowned throughout Renaissance Europe, Pieter Coecke van Aelst
(1502-1550) produced works for the wealthiest and most important
patrons of the time, including Emperor Charles V, Francis I of
France, Henry VIII of England, the Habsburgs, and Cosimo de Medici.
While he is best known for his magnificent tapestries, he was also
a consummate artist in other media, and the output from his
workshop included painted altarpieces, as well as designs and
cartoons for stained glass. This lavish publication, the first
comprehensive volume devoted to this Renaissance master since 1966,
introduces Pieter Coecke van Aelst to a contemporary audience and
places him among the great artists of the 16th century. New
photographs, including fine details, reunite twenty of the splendid
Renaissance tapestries made to his designs with some of his finest
surviving drawings and panel paintings, while texts by thirteen
prominent scholars explore Coecke's art and world. Both a feast for
the eyes and an important reappraisal of a great Renaissance
master, this important study will stand as the comprehensive volume
on a major artist of the Northern Renaissance. Published by The
Metropolitan Museum of Art/Distributed by Yale University Press
