Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a deep exploration of the life and art of Hans Memling, the last great master of the Early Netherlandish painting era. It presents the artist's biography, analyzing his paintings that emerged amidst significant artistic movements during the 15th century. The author's close examination of Memling's work reveals how, despite his grounding in the meticulous, almost archaic methods of the old masters, he became a pioneer of a style that bridged the medieval and Renaissance periods. Memling's profound religious sensibilities and fascination with the elegance and grace of the Burgundian court are evident in his paintings, marking a shift away from the stark naturalism of his predecessors towards a more poetic and idealized aesthetic. This book not only captures the essence of Memling's artistic genius but also places it within the rich tapestry of the art historical context of its time, offering a nuanced understanding of his role in the evolution of Western art.
