Description
Book SynopsisIn 2005 Museum Het Valkhof in Nijmegen presented the exhibition ‘The Limbourg Brothers. Nijmegen Masters at the French Court (1400-1416)’. This was the first time that original miniatures from four manuscripts by the Limbourg brothers were shown in the Netherlands. The exhibition formed an excellent opportunity to invite prominent scholars to share their views on the art of the Limbourg brothers during a two-day conference. This publication presents in written form the conference papers delivered by some of the leading scholars in the field.
Trade Review"De succesvolle Nijmeegse tentoonstellingen en de bijbehorende catalogus inspireerden tot nieuwe verkenningen van het werk van de gebroeders Limburg, de receptie van hun werk, hun invloed en de (kunst)historische context waarbinnen ze actief waren. De in dit boek neergelegde resultaten laten zien dat uiteenlopende benaderingen tot nieuwe inzichten kunnen leiden." Wim van Anrooij, De Gulden Passer 88 (2010) 149-150.
