Hardback, 444 p., 318 b/w ill., 230 x 315 mm. ISBN 02010174. Dans ce volume, ce sont surtout les verrieres conservees dans la ville de Liege (eglise Saint-Jacques, basilique Saint-Martin, cathedrale Saint-Paul) qui permettent de realiser la facon dont les edifices de l'epoque devaient etre decores. A l'epoque, sous le regne du prince-eveque Erard de la Marck, la richesse de la Principaute de Liege permettait un important developpement des arts. Les vitraux liegeois conserves montrent, d'une part, des liens indeniables avec la production contemporaine dans d'autres regions des anciens Pays-Bas meridionaux et, d'autre part, une richesse ornementale extraordinaire et inventive. Certains autres vitraux etudies presentent une facture plus populaire mais qui devait se manifester tres frequemment dans toutes les regions. Languages : French.
Hardback with dusjacket, 312 p., 237 b/w ill. 48 colour ill., 210 x 297 mm, Languages: English. new, fine condition !. ISBN 9782503525693. This monograph introduces the sixteenth-century Louvain artist Jan Rombouts (c. 1480 ? 1535), whose oeuvre was previously assigned to Jan van Rillaer. Debates concerning Rombouts?s identity are explored in detail by means of reinterpretation of published archival documents and the discovery of numerous new documents. The publication of the sources, most with full transcriptions, provides a sound basis for the author?s arguments supporting the new identification.The remaining oeuvre of the artist, as it is known today, comprises engravings and paintings. This monograph argues for the expansion of Rombouts?s oeuvre with some dozen stained-glass windows, roundels and a drawn design for a church window, while suggestions are put forth for other possible attributions. Attention is given to the historical context for Rombouts?s activity as a glass painter, and the attributions of these works, none of which are monogrammed, are made by comparing their style with that of works securely attributed to the artist. This section is backed up by numerous illustrations of the windows, many of which are quite inaccessible. Finally, a discussion of archival sources concerning the Louvain confraternity of St Luke and commissions for works of art to local artists in the period covered by the book, form the rich historical background against which Jan Rombouts executed his oeuvre of engravings, paintings, roundels and stained-glass windows. The size, individuality, diversity and craftsmanship of this oeuvre enable us to finally identify and place him securely within the history of south Netherlandish art of his time.
