Otto Pacht's studies of the Early Netherlandish painters are the
fruit of a lifetime's research. Following his book on the brothers
Van Eyck and their circle, this volume deals with the next
generation of artists, the great figures of the 15th and early 16th
century: Rogier van der Weyden, Petrus Christus, Aelbert van
Ouwater, Dieric Bouts, Justus van Gent, Hugo van der Goes, Geertgen
tot Sint Jans, Hans Memling and Gerard David. In the tradition of
the Vienna School, Pacht's approach puts emphasis on formal
analysis and on direct contact with the works of art themselves.
Taking certain key works by each artist as examples, he discusses
every facet of the work including style, mood, iconography,
symbolism and construction of space. The chapters are linked by the
theme of imitation and continuation: the author compares the same
subject as treated by various artists and shows how artists adopted
developed ideas and motifs first employed by their predecessors.
Although his touchstone was the evidence of his eyes, Pacht was
always responsive to the theories of other scholars, and this
volume is a gateway to an influential period in the history of art.
The proximity of the illustrations to the text enhances his account
of the great figures of the period, and there is a folding plate,
in colour, of Rogier van de Weyden's Last Judgement alterpiece for
the chapel of the hospital, the Hotel-Dieu, in Beaume.
