About this title

Synopsis

Published to accompany the exhibition at the Groeninge Museum, Bruges, this volume celebrates and examines the tremendous influence the Flemish Primitives had on their eastern neighbours in Central Europe, from 1430 to 1530, focusing in particular on the pre-eminent Flemish and German masters of this period, Jan van Eyck and Albrecht Dürer. In addition to well-known (and less well-known) works by Flemish Primitives, the book also reproduces a selection of artistic gems by less celebrated painters from Germany, Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland and Estonia.

From the Back Cover

Brings together work by two great masters, Van Eyck and Dürer, along with work by their contemporaries to illustrate the interaction between Flemish and Central European artists in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Jan van Eyck and Albrecht Dürer were two titans in a pivotal century in the history of western art. For several generations, the Flemish Primitives inspired artists from the Holy Roman Empire and influenced the course of artistic development in Europe to a degree rivaled only by the innovations of the Italian Renaissance.
