Early Netherlandish Painting from Rogier van der Weyden to Gerard David

Otto Pächt examines the great Netherlandish painters of the 15th and early 16th century by putting emphasis on formal analysis and on direct contact with the works of art themselves, and by discussing every facet of the works including style, mood, iconography, symbolism and construction of space.
"Otto Pächt's [...] impressive study of early Netherlandish painting is both compelling and useful. [...] Like the first volume, beautiful and copious illustrations reinforce Pächt's observations."    (Thomas Stanton, in Historians of Netherlandish Art Newsletter, May 2000)
