Petrus Christus in Renaissance Bruges, an Interdisciplinary Approach
, Brepols, Paperback, V+221 pages ., 210 x 297 mm, 1995. ISBN 9782503504445.
An interdisciplinary approach to the works of Petrus Christus incorporating the papers of the 1994 Petrus Christus Symposium at The Metropolitan Museum in New York. During the past few decades, admirers of Petrus Christus have been astonishingly fortunate. Unknown or forgotten paintings in the style of Christus have turned up with surprising regularity: in the 1950s, the wonderful Kansas City Holy Family; in the 1960s the Birmingham Christ and the Bruges Isabella of Portugal Presented by Saint Elisabeth in the 1980s, the Cleveland Baptist and the problematic Bruges panels of the Annunciation and the Nativity. Nothing, of course, can compensate for the loss, during World War II, of the Dessau Crucifixion, and the Berlin wing panels of the Baptist and Saint Catherine. We had to wait until 1974 for the first monograph devoted to Christus, but since then two more books on Christus have been published and important discoveries have been made about his career in Bruges. Thanks to Maryan Ainsworth and her colleagues, we had a truly marvellous exhibition, where we had the privilige of studying more of Chrsitus' paintings than he himself can ever have seen gathered in one place. The exhibition itself initiated a new phase in Christus studies and it is the ideal beginning. If problems of attribution and chronology are ever to be settled, they had to be settled during the exhibition. This publication offers the papers of the 1994 Petrus Christus Symposium at The Metropolitan Museum in New York. L. Campbell, Approaches to Petrus Christus, W.

Manuscrits enlumines des anciens Pays-Bas meridionaux, Manuscrits de Louis de Bruges
, brepols, 2010 Hardback, 280 p., 460 b/w ill., 210 x 300 mm, ISBN: 978-2-7177-2396-0 Languages: French . ISBN 9782717723960.
At the court of Burgundy, Louis of Bruges was one of the most remarkable bibliophiles of the 15th century. The majority of his collection consists of secular volumes written in French. Copiously illustrated and in large format, the books often deal with classical history and chronicles, and form a homogeneous artistic corpus, created for the most part in Bruges by selected artists. This volume presents, for the first time, Louis of Bruges' corpus of manuscripts in a format that allows for comparisons with contemporary works. Introduced by a synthetic overview, the catalogue contains descriptions grouped by artist, supplemented by some 460 illustrations. French text. A la cour de Bourgogne, Louis de Bruges fut ? apres Philippe le Bon ? le plus remarquable bibliophile du XVe siecle. Ce personnage joua un role politique de premier plan jusqu?a sa mort survenue en 1492, et sa bibliotheque revint a Louis XII. La plupart des volumes sont profanes et de langue francaise ; abondamment illustres et de tres grand format ils se rapportent souvent a l?histoire antique et aux chroniques. Ce sont 75 titres repartis en plus de 110 volumes. Ces manuscrits forment un corpus artistique homogene, puisqu?ils sont principalement produits a Bruges, plus rarement a Anvers ou a Gand, par des artistes choisis. Si certains sont identifies (Guillaume Vrelant, Loyset Liedet, Jean Hennecart ou Lieven van Lathem), beaucoup restent anonymes malgre la qualite de leur art. Certains voient ici leur corpus defini pour la premiere fois par comparaison avec des manuscrits conserves dans d?autres bibliotheques. Les notices, regroupees par artiste, sont precedees d?une presentation synthetique faisant le point sur chacun d?eux. Bati sur des descriptions methodiques et rigoureuses, ce catalogue possede aussi une dimension monographique et propose un vaste panorama de l?enluminure flamande appuye sur quelque 460 illustrations.

, Hannibal, 2024 Hardcover, 288 pages, 290 x 230 mm, NEW, illustrated dustjacket, Quadrichromie , illustrated in colour / b/w. ISBN 9789464666946.
Rediscovery of an architectural gem in the heart of Bruges The Adornes family has left a special legacy that can be admired to this day in Bruges. The Adornes Estate with its mansion and alms-houses reminds us of the family?s aristocratic lifestyle. The fascinating Jerusalem Chapel, a replica of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, brought great prestige to the Adornes family with its unusual architecture and powerful symbolism. Who were the Adornes? When did they arrive in Bruges and how did they establish their position as one of the most influential Bruges families of the fifteenth century? Ten authors, led by historians Jan Dumolyn and No l Geirnaert, highlight the different facets of this extraordinary dynasty: from a critical genealogical analysis to a study of the collections, including an analysis of the architectural heritage and a presentation of current management aspects of this historical treasure which is still owned privately by its founders? descendants.
Forgotten Masters Pieter Pourbus and Bruges painting from 1525 to 1625
BE - , Snoeck, 2018 Hardcover, 336 Pages: 250 Illustrations: .FINE. . ISBN 9789461614155.
Forgotten Masters Pieter Pourbus and Bruges Painting from 1525 to 1625 In the early sixteenth century Bruges had a stable economic climate that was not to be compared with the heady heyday of the fifteenth century. A small but wealthy elite continued to commission works of art but in general demand was falling, though the quality of what was produced was still high. Around the same time, a number of leading humanists congregated in the city. Erasmus called Bruges the ?Athens of the North. The catalogue provides a sampling of Bruges's artistic production between 1525 and 1625, with works by Ambrosius Benson, Adriaen Isenbrant, Marcus Gerards, Lancelot Blondeel, Pieter and Frans Pourbus, and Pieter, Antonius and Gillis Claeissens.
