Product Description
From Library Journal
The early Renaissance art of 16th-century Bruges is far less well known today than the splendor of the medieval Flemish art that preceded it. This volume, published on the occasion of an exhibition in Bruges, encompasses the full spectrum of the art of this relatively neglected period. Opening the book are a half-dozen scholarly essays by experts in the field that summarize what is currently known about the history of this art. The heart of the book is a 180-page catalog of paintings, including discussion of artists and fine reproductions. This is followed by short sections focusing on prints, books, sculpture, and tapestries. Work by well-known earlier figures such as Hans Memling and Gerard David is included along with that of later and more obscure figures such as the Master of the Holy Blood and Jan Provoost. Focused and erudite, this volume will be of most interest to specialized and research collections.AKathryn Wekselman, Univ. of Cincinnati Lib., OH

Spectacular book,
By Phoebus Franca "thebuffer" (San Francisco Bay Area, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bruges and the Renaissance (Hardcover)
This is one of the best art books I have ever purchased. The layout and reproductions are beautiful: high quality paper, etc. The text, particularly a lengthy article about the Bruges artistic culture of the time, is very informative. Can't go wrong with this one.
