Occasionally, when something seems very familiar you lose sight of
what makes it so special: Flemish Masters. From van Eyck to Bruegel
sets out to counteract this effect and opens our eyes once again to
the revolution that took place in the Low Countries in the 15th and
16th centuries that shaped the course of European art. In 48
lavishly illustrated analyses, Matthias Depoorter explores how
painters such as Van Eyck, Van der Weiden, Massys, Bosch, and
Bruegel reached unprecedented heights, and are rightfully
considered innovators to this day. The defining factor was their
perfecting and mastery of the oil painting technique as well as
their ground-breaking attention to optical lighting effects. The
new technical possibilities offered a different way of looking at
the world and ultimately a new way of painting. No less innovative
was the level of detail. These painters were thoroughly acquainted
with each other’s work—this volume shows the fundamental
artistic cross-fertilization. A must-read for anyone who wants to
fall in love with the old masterpieces anew.
