hardcover with dust jacket, golden inner platters, 250 x 330mm., 216pp., 220 colour illustrations ISBN 9789061535201. The fourteenth and fifteenth centuries witnessed an exceptional flowering of artistry in the Burgundian Netherlands. It was then that the artists who we now call the Flemish Primitives developed their unique style of painting, typified by a strict type of naturalism and an exceptionally detailed representation of form, which brought them immediate international fame. In this book, Dirk De Vos provides a broad introduction to the painting of the Flemish Primitives based on some twenty carefully selected masterpieces. The high-quality illustrations, including dozens of details, offer art lovers the opportunity to take their time over viewing these works (normal access to which is often difficult) and to experience them in all their beauty.
