By William Martin Conway

Book Overview

""The Van Eycks And Their Followers"" is a book written by Martin Conway, first published in 1921. The book is a comprehensive study of the art and influence of the Van Eyck brothers, Jan and Hubert, who were Flemish painters of the 15th century. The book explores their pioneering techniques in oil painting, their use of symbolism and their contributions to the development of the Renaissance style in Northern Europe. Conway also examines the works of other artists who were influenced by the Van Eycks, including Rogier van der Weyden, Petrus Christus and Hans Memling. The book includes detailed analyses of individual paintings, as well as broader discussions of the historical and cultural contexts in which they were created. The book features numerous illustrations, including reproductions of paintings by the Van Eycks and their followers, as well as photographs of contemporary Flemish architecture and other cultural artifacts. It is considered a seminal work in the field of art history and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the art and culture of the Flemish Renaissance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
