VAN MIEGROET (Hans J.). Gerard David. - Lot 302
VAN MIEGROET (Hans J.). Gerard David. Antwerp, Fonds Mercator, [1989]. Large quarto, publisher’s blue cloth binding, “gd” monogram in gold on the front cover, with an illustrated dust jacket; black cloth slipcase. An important monograph devoted to Gérard David (c. 1460–1523), one of the leading figures in Bruges painting at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. A seminal study by Hans J. Van Miegroet, focusing on the painter’s training, his stylistic evolution, his Bruges milieu, and an analysis of his work. The author examines, in particular, David’s relationship with the tradition of Jan van Eyck, the archaizing tendencies of his early period, and their connection to the emerging humanist movements. Extensive illustrations in black and white and, above all, in color, including numerous full-page details that allow readers to appreciate the master’s painting technique. A beautiful, complete copy with its dust jacket and slipcase.
