Reviews

[Michael Finocchiaro]

Extremely thorough and erudite, this definitive text covering Flemish (currently Belgium and the Netherlands) primitifs (painters from the 15th century so the 1400s) is excellent but exhausting. Panofsky covers the origins in illuminated manuscripts through the incredible talent of Van Eyck and Van Der Weyden on through their successors leading into the next century. I learned a lot but as the author talked about use of color and all the included art was in black and white, I had to do a lot of Googling. Also, a table or chart showing the cities, dates, artists and works would have been helpful. I plan to make one myself if any read of this review is interested.

[Israel Montoya Baquero]

La cantidad de informacion, basada en los inmensos conocimientos que posee,que suelta Panofsky en cada pagina es (o puede llegar a ser) apabullante. Lo que no quita que estemos ante una obra basica y fundamental para entender la pintura flamenca de los siglos XIV-XVII.
