Cloth, blindstamped cover-title and panel, large 4to, 32 cm, vii, 223 pp, 150 ills including 100 colour plates. From the blurb - "In the years between 1475 and 1550 the master illuminators of Flanders produced an array of remarkable manuscripts or unparalleled splendor. This lavish volume offers a unique opportunity to discover these sumptuous, relatively unknown works of art As seen here in lush colorplates, the Flemish painters made every page a tiny masterpiece. For the first time, artists visually broke through the flat surface of the parchment, achieving an unprecedented sense of depth in interior scenes. At the same time, their exquisite details and masterful effects of light and shadow offered a new realism and brilliance to painted landscapes, and they enlivened the margins of their pages with pictures of flowers and insects in trompe l'oeil. All of their innovations were soon widely imitated. One unusual aspect of this volume, which accompanies a 1996 exhibition in St. Petersburg, Russia, and Florence, Italy, is its focus on the individuals who commissioned and purchased these works. A Portuguese patron, for example, was the owner of the sumptuous Breviary of Mayer van den Bergh, which has been newly restored and photographed especially for this book. Other foreign patrons engaged Flemish miniaturists to create a variety of elaborate works. Hymnals and graduals were made for bishops and abbots, and smaller devotional books for rich laymen.
