商品簡介
This thorough and beautifully illustrated monograph provides a history of the late medieval painter that includes substantial analysis of his painted altarpieces, manuscripts, and goldsmith work; evidence for his drawing technique and preparation based on x-ray and infrared reflectograms; the place of Lochner's work in the context of Northern Renaissance painting, particularly those by Jan Van Eyck and Rogier Van der Weyden; and the details in the paintings that indicate their production in a workshop. Chapuis (an associate curator of medieval art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York) writes a straightforward narrative that is centered upon detailed formal analysis of the works, their interpretation, and exhaustive analysis of the scientific and historical evidence for their creation. Appendices contain primary documents, the 14th- and 15th-century regulations of the Cologne painters' craft (in the original old German, with English translation), and the results of dendrochronological analyses of the painted panels.
