Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1450-1516) is one of the most famous painters in the history of Netherlandish painting, if not the world. This new book presents his best-known works, revealing them as never before in magnificent, full-page close-up details. Chapters explore characteristic themes in Bosch's work, such as faces, visions of heaven and hell, the four elements, landscapes, and creatures both fantastic and monstrous. 'Bosch in detail' offers an exceptional insight into masterpieces like 'The garden of earthly delights', 'The Haywain', the 'Temptation of St Anthony and the last judgment'. Author Till-Holger Borchert, an expert in Netherlandish art, guides us through this popular painter's work in clear and accessible language, and from less-familiar and even surprising angles.

Bosch in Detail

Bruges painting of the second half of the sixteenth century has long been something of a unknown quantity. The oeuvres of Lancelot Blondeel and Pieter Pourbus may be known but the work of their fellow-painters in Bruges has received scant attention. However, recent scholarly and scientific study of those forgotten masters has greatly advance our knowledge of them. Today, not only do we have a better insight into the work of Pourbus and Blondeel, we can also introduce you to their artistic descendants with the oeuvres of several generations of the Claeissens family and of Marcus Gerards. They were all renowned masters producing works of the utmost quality that secured their high status in the art market. This book provides a necessary update of Bruges art history and place many long-held assumptions in a new light.

In the course of the fifteenth century, the reputation of the Burgundian court rose to an unprecedented level, catapulted forward by ever growing territorial ambitions and accumulation of wealth. This reached a climax during the reign of Charles the Bold (1433-1477), the living embodiment of the pomp and pageantry of the Burgundian court and a generous patron of the fine arts. Rather than focusing on a single domain, this volume aims to shed light on Burgundian court culture as an organic whole, between the start of the reign of Philip the Good (1419) and the death of Mary of Burgundy (1482). It is intended to provide a forum for new research from the fields of History, History of Art, Literature and Musicology. With contributions (among others) from Wim Blockmans, Herman Brinkman, Barbara Haggh, Andrea Berlin, James Bloom, Till-Holger Borchert, Andrew Brown, Hendrik Callewier, Anna Campbell, Mario Damen, Sonja Duennebeil, Jonas Goossenaerts, Bieke Hillewaert, Andrew Hamilton, Eva Helfenstein, Jesse Hurlbut, Sophie Jolivet, Sascha Kohl, Sherry Lindquist, Jana Lucas, Samuel Mareel, Elizabeth J.

Staging the Court of Burgundy

Five centuries ago, Bruges was home to the Flemish Primitives. At the time, Bruges was one of the most important cities in Europe: an international centre of trade and meeting place for foreign merchants. It is this medieval Bruges through which we are guided by Till-Holger Borchert, director of the Bruges Museums. The wealth of the city and its art-loving inhabitants attracted dozens of artists. The pioneers among the socalled Flemish Primitives - Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, Dieric Bouts, Hugo van der Goes and Gerard David - developed a new style of painting over the course of the fifteenth century that would make its influence felt as far as southern Europe. Although many of their paintings now hang among the masterpieces of the world's most prominent museums, Bruges was nevertheless able to hold on to a number of dazzling specimens of its owns heritage. This book allows you to take that heritage home. It is the perfect introduction for those who would like to become better acquainted with the artistic Bruges of the fifteenth centyury, as well as a splendid souvenir for anyone who has admired the Flemish Primitives in the city's main museums.

Jan van Eyck gilt als Begründer der niederländischen Malerei. Mit seinem Dresdner Marien-Altar und der Bildniszeichnung des Niccolò Albergati stehen nun zwei Schlüsselwerke im Zentrum einer Ausstellung, die erstmals alle Gemälde und Zeichnungen der altniederländischen Kunst aus dem Besitz der Staatlichen Kunstsammlungen Dresden vereint. Das Bildnis des Niccolò Albergati ist die einzige bekannte Zeichnung Jan van Eycks; dessen 1437 entstandener Marien-Altar stellt das einzige erhaltene Triptychon im Werk des Wegbereiters der europäischen Tafelmalerei dar. Zum weiteren Bestand der Gemäldegalerie zählen 14 Tafelbilder, darunter Flügelaltäre, private Andachtsbilder und Porträts. Der außerordentlich große Bestand des Kupferstich-Kabinetts mit über 60 Zeichnungen aus dem 15. und frühen 16. Jahrhundert gibt einen faszinierenden Überblick über die verschiedenen Funktionen der Zeichnung. Zwei einführende Studien stellen die neuesten Erkenntnisse zu den beiden Dresdner Werken Jan van Eycks vor. Dem" Geheimnis"seiner Malweise ist eine besondere Untersuchung gewidmet. Weitere Studien beschäftigen sich mit einer Folge von fünf Planetendarstellungen, dem weltweit größten Konvolut an Zeichnungen des Meisters von Absalom, den Zeichenmaterialen sowie den verwendeten Papieren. Auch die Unterzeichnungen der Dresdner Gemälde werden ausführlich dokumentiert. Abschließende Darstellungen gehen auf das Kopienwesen im 15. Jahrhundert und auf die regionalen Unterschiede im Werkprozess der altniederländischen Kunst ein.
