Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Hand-painted books produced in the Low Countries during the late Middle Ages are dazzingly inventive, widely admired both in their own time and today. The makers of Flemish illuminated manuscripts experimented, sometimes flamboyantly, with all aspects of their design, manipulating elements of their format, layout, script, decoration and illustration in radically new and challenging ways. In this book, James H. Marrow discusses prominent features of many of the most exuberant illuminated manuscripts created by leading Flemish illuminators of the 15th and the 16th centuries, considering both the playful ways in which the makers of these books reconfigured their design and the ways they exploited these innovations to define and convey the meaning of their contents more effectively. Marrow considers how the designers of these manuscripts broke down the barriers between the different components of the book; how the shapes of some manuscripts became a kind of image; how script sometimes became decoration or one of several illusionistically treated elements or fields on the page; and how decoration and illustration were intermixed in diverse, witty, and provocative fashions. In this final stage in the evolution of the medieval book, leading Flemish illuminators fundamentally changed the structural dynamics of the page, enlarging its fields of visual and pictorial interest and exploiting novel juxtapositions of subject matter and scale, of viewpoint and different kinds of illusionism, to guide viewers beyond the here-and-now, to evoke multiple and alternative levels of truth, and to effect profound transformations of understanding. This is an incisive study of the course of these developments in the Low Countries and of some of the important ways in which they engaged issues central to the function of the visual arts. Discusses prominent features of many illuminated manuscripts created by leading Flemish illuminator of the 15th and 16th centuries, considering the playful ways in which the makers of these books reconfigured this design, and the ways they exploited these innovations to define and convey the meaning of their contents more effectively.

Illustrated printed wrappers, 4to, 28 cm, xiv, 281, [1] pp, ills. 89 entries. The exhibition was organized and the catalogue edited by James H. Marrow & Alan Shestack. Contents include: three essays on Baldung and his art: An Introduction to Hans Baldung Grien, by Alan Sheitackl Baldung and the Female Nude, by Charles W. Talbot; Baldung and the Reformation, by Linda C. Halts. From the Editors' Comments: "This exhibition introduces to the American audience the work of Hans Baldung Grien, a German artist active during the first half of the sixteenth century, who is noted for his unprecedented interpretations of traditional religious subjects and his intriguing explorations of topics which sometimes involve imagery of a demonic or erotic nature. His work reflects the changing subject matter and orientation of art in a turbulent period of European history - one which, at least in Germany, nourished a generation of virtuoso draftsmen-painters. Since it is impractical to arrange transatlantic loans of a significant body of sixteenth-century panel paintings, the exhibition is focused upon Baldung's graphic works, particularly his drawings and single-leaf prints. Although Baldung also designed hundreds of woodcut illustrations for printed books, most of these were executed by lesser craftsmen and were subject neither to the care nor to the same degree of the artist's control over cutting and printing as were his single-leaf prints. The latter works, like the drawings, are more accurate reflections of his artistic intentions and therefore constitute the most reliable basis for an evaluation of his graphic style. Most of the genres of Baldung's art are represented in his graphic works and, indeed, he depicted in his prints and drawings many subjects rarely illustrated in his panels. Baldung was, moreover, an inventive and powerful draftsman, whose graphic style has not been studied extensively for many decades. One of the primary aims of the exhibition has thus been to consider this aspect of Baldung's art. . The text of the catalogue has been conceived with a twofold purpose. The essays are designed to introduce readers and visitors to the exhibition, and to explore selected aspects of Baldung's art. The entries are designed to comment extensively upon the exhibited objects, considering such subjects as technique, style, sources, iconography and expression." Near Very Good.

From the introduction: "In 1985, two years after it began collecting medieval illuminated manuscripts, the J. Paul Getty Museum acquired a section of the Hours of Simon de Varie. Produced in France shortly after the middle of the fifteenth century and illustrated by three artistically very different painters - among them Jean Fouquet, one of the most accomplished and inventive artists ever to practice the craft of manuscript illumination - the codex had been dismembered in the seventeenth century and suffered post-medieval alterations that disguised many of its original features. Two disparate sections had been acquired in the nineteenth century by the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague. The long-lost volume purchased by the Getty Museum represented the missing third section. With its discovery, we were able to reconstruct, for the first time, much of the manuscript's history and some of the circumstances of its production, as well as appreciate its original extent and form."

Cloth, folio, 30 cm, 192 pp,17 colour plates, 118 black-and-white ills. From the blurb - "Since 1925 Friedrich Winkler's study 'Die Flämische Buchmalerei des XV. Und XVI. Jahrhunderts' has been the standard work on Flemish miniature painting in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. More than sixty years after Winkler, a new up to date survey of the evolution of manuscript illumination is presented here. In this study Dr. Georges Dogaer summarizes the new insights that have emerged in this field and discusses recently discovered archival data. The author starts with a group of anonymous artists who were active around 1400, discusses in depth the splendid and refined manuscripts that were produced under the patronage of the Burgundian dukes and ends with the miniaturists of the so-called Ghent-Bruges School, which reached its final peak with the famous Bruges illuminator Simon Bening. Each of the forty chapters is devoted to one miniaturist or group of miniaturists. After a short biographical introduction the author presents a comprehensive description and evaluation of the artist's work. All significant aspects of style and technique are considered in detail. Each chapter includes a bibliography and a list of manuscripts. More than a hundred illustrations and 17 colour plates give a good impression of the skill of the artists under discussion."
