Synopsis

Excerpt from Hans Memlinc

Compelled to abandon that work ere it was finished, he is now again devoting a portion Of his time to the study Of the Early Netherlandish Painters, and he hopes to be able to be Of some use in this way to students.

The present volume includes the biography and an account Of the work Of Hans Memlinc, who, after the Van Eycks, is the most-distinguished master Of the Early Netherlandish school. It will, the author hopes, be found an interesting contribution to the present series Of monographs; the biography is, he believes, more accurate than in any work yet published. The date Of a number Of paintings has been established, and the persons for whom they were executed identified; others, attributed to Memlinc on what appear to be insufficient grounds, have been rejected and the reasons for so doing given.

About this title

Product Description:

Excerpt from Hans Memlinc During the first half of the present century those who visited and examined collections of Early Netherlandish Paintings were like explorers voyaging on a wild and unknown ocean without a chart; some of them making careful observations, and jotting down on their maps any land of the existence and extent of which they had acquired certain proof, and noting its characteristic features; others, however, in their eagerness to make discoveries quickly, and to acquire renown, mistaking sandbanks and rocks seen through the mists for hitherto undiscovered countries, giving them names, dilating in elegant language on their beauties, and for a time obtaining the reputation of having added to the world's knowledge. So has it been with the history of the Early Netherlandish School of Painting. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
