{"product_id":"rogier-van-der-weyden-and-bart-fransen-9781909400153","title":"Rogier Van Der Weyden and Stone Sculpture in Brussels","description":"The activities of Rogier van der Weyden (1399\/1400-1464) were much wider in scope than the well-known painted oeuvre that has been the subject of so many publications. This book, with its focus on stone sculpture in Brussels at the time that Rogier was established there, an area of art history that to date has been little explored, offers a fresh and fascinating look at the context in which Brussels's famous city painter operated. Bart Fransen leads you through a network of stoneworkers and craftsmen, from the stone quarry to the sculptor's workshop, to discover a number of remarkable but unknown or misjudged sculptures now in churches, an abbey, a beguinage, a museum's reserve collection and a castle chapel. With the various case studies in mind he goes on to examine Rogier van der Weyden's direct involvement in sculptural projects, turning to the evidence revealed by archival documents, drawings and sculpture itself. The result is a highly readable and plentifully illustrated book that re-establishes the close relationship between the various art forms that existed in the fifteenth century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bart Fransen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1909400157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781909400153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvey Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Bart Fransen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44245332263167,"sku":"9781909400153","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68d851ed-0c73-41a5-bbd6-71ede73379ca.jpg?v=1693927434","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rogier-van-der-weyden-and-bart-fransen-9781909400153","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
