Parution : Julie Beckers, Hannah De Moor, Ethan Matt Kavaler (dir.), “Taking Shape Sculpture of the Low Countries, c. 1400–1600”, Turnhout, Brepols, 2024
This book examines the production, patronage, and use of sculptures made in the Low Countries between 1400 and 1600. Two questions frame the book: ‘Why did Sculpture from the Low countries matter’ and ‘Why will Sculpture from the Low Countries matter for future research’. Answers to these questions will be offered in a coherent and richly illustrated study which considers Sculpture as a pivotal subject field within Art Historical discourse.
