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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Monika Rosenauer, Otto Pacht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1872501842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781872501840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvey Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.32h x 8.16w x 1.02d","brand":"Monika Rosenauer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075105091839,"sku":"9781872501840","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_70c6d1d4-b439-48d3-86f0-f43a02662767.jpg?v=1685457636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-netherlandish-painting-from-rogier-monika-rosenauer-9781872501840","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
