This sumptuous book, which accompanies the Academy's Autumn 2003 exhibition, Illuminating the Renaissance, is illustrated with many of the most important and beautiful illuminated manuscripts ever produced. The ambitious scope of the exhibition is reflected in this publication which reveals the wealth and brilliance of Northern masters such as Gerard David and Rogier van der Weyden. Their polished and refined style emerged under the Burgundian Duke, Charles the Bold and flourished for nearly one hundred years between 1467 - 1560. Over 400 plates reveal the originality of this scintillating style which brings to life an imaginative courtly world of Chivalric romances and medieval banquets. A hallmark of this painting is a type of decorative border which renders flowers, insects and other fauna against solid coloured grounds and where the artist plays illusionistic tricks with the viewer to create some of the most colourful and luminous painting of the late medieval era. The plates are accompanied by full entries with essays written by the foremost scholars in the field from the John Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles, The British Library, London and the Metropolitan Museum, New York.

Seller's Description:
VG (scuffs, scratches & rubbed edge-wear to wraps; back upper wrap edge has small divet w/ transference to closing pg. spine ends rubs w/ creasing to top. ) Pictorial & grey wraps w/ red printing. 576 pgs w/ primarily color illustrations. This is a masterful account of Flemish illumination during its height, 1470-1560. Both precious objects and conveyors of serious meaning, the manuscripts considered here range from ecclesiastical texts, romance, and historical chronicles to ancient authors. The authors' collective and most welcome approach discusses manuscript production in terms of producers and consumers, with respect to artistic, political, and historical issues; these include interrelations between painters and illuminators, and collaboration among printer and illuminator, named scribes, and patronage. The illuminated manuscript is thus integrated into the intellectual and artistic contexts of the Renaissance, instead of regarded in isolation. The advent of printing coexisted with illumination for a time and, at least in one case, in the same workshop. Around 1475, printer Colard Mansion produced manuscripts with illuminations as well as printed texts that had spaces designated for such illustrations. Those who commissioned manuscripts and held sizable libraries included aristocrat Philippe de Homes and rulers Philip the Good, Charles the Bold, and Margaret of York. --WorldCat.
