Objects of beauty and prestige with their rich color and fine
detail, early Netherlandish oil paintings were among the most
widely sought-after works of the Renaissance. Beginning in the
early 15th century with Jan van Eyck, and ending in the mid-16th
century with the career of Pieter Bruegel the Elder, this
magnificently illustrated book explores the achievements of this
glorious and innovative period in Netherlandish painting.
Susan Frances Jones focuses on over 50 selected works from the
National Gallery, London collection to illuminate the roles played
by paintings in political, domestic, religious, and secular
contexts. Drawing on the Gallery's remarkable research into
materials and techniques, she describes how painters' working and
creative practices changed and shifted over time. The author also
considers whether Northern European artists, like some of their
counterparts, laid claim to intellectual as well as artistic
sophistication.
