This book offers a wide-ranging introduction to the way that art
was made, valued, and viewed in northern Europe in the age of the
Renaissance, from the late fourteenth to the early years of the
sixteenth century. Drawing on a rich range of sources, from
inventories and guild regulations to poetry and chronicles, it
examines everything from panel paintings to carved altarpieces.
While many little-known works are foregrounded, Susie Nash also
presents new ways of viewing and understanding the more familiar,
such as the paintings of Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, and
Hans Memling, by considering the social and economic context of
their creation and reception. Throughout, Nash challenges the
perception that Italy was the European leader in artistic
innovation at this time, demonstrating forcefully that Northern
art, and particularly that of the Southern Netherlands, dominated
visual culture throughout Europe in this crucial period.
