About this title

Synopsis

This volume of the Flemish Primitives series undertaken by the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Belgium diverges from the first three volumes by focusing on anonymous, rather than famous, painters, particularly those painters whose artistic identity is defined in relation to a base work. The biographical notes of the earlier volumes have been replaced here with introductions that set out the questions surrounding each of these painters and the groups of works associated with them. The examination of the 20 panels uses a multidisciplinary approach that combines traditional historical, stylistic and iconographic research with laboratory analysis methods. This in-depth analysis gives the anonymous paintings the recognition they deserve. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
