Martens, Maximiliaan P. J.; Paul Hevenne; Maryann Ainsworth - Bruges and the Renaissance; Memling to Pourbus

Ludion/New York, Stichting Kunstboek/Harry N. Abrams, 1998. Hardcover. Red cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine, color illustrated dust jacket, 319 pp, profusely illustrated in color and bw illustrations. "This illustrated and wide-ranging study brings Bruges' Renaissance to life. It opens in the 1480s, when artist Gerard David settled in Bruges and Hans Mernling was painting some of his greatest masterpieces, and ends in 1584, when Pieter Pourbus, the most important painter working in Bruges in the second half of the sixteenth century, died in the port city." "Essays by a team of experts explore the artistic developments of the intervening nine decades, with a focus on the spread of ideas from the Italian Renaissance to northern Europe. Through trade, the migration of artists, and the circulation of art works, new intellectual and aesthetic standards seeped into local artists' work, resulting in the glorious images that are so beautifully reproduced in this volume."--Jacket.
