The Flemish Primitives in Bruges

By: Till-Holger Borchert

Five centuries ago, Bruges was home to the Flemish Primitives. At the time, Bruges was one of the most important cities in Europe: an international centre of trade and meeting place for foreign merchants. It is this medieval Bruges through which we are guided by Till-Holger Borchert, director of the Bruges Museums. The wealth of the city and its art-loving inhabitants attracted dozens of artists. The pioneers among the socalled Flemish Primitives - Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, Dieric Bouts, Hugo van der Goes and Gerard David - developed a new style of painting over the course of the fifteenth century that would make its influence felt as far as southern Europe. Although many of their paintings now hang among the masterpieces of the world's most prominent museums, Bruges was nevertheless able to hold on to a number of dazzling specimens of its owns heritage. This book allows you to take that heritage home. It is the perfect introduction for those who would like to become better acquainted with the artistic Bruges of the fifteenth centyury, as well as a splendid souvenir for anyone who has admired the Flemish Primitives in the city's main museums. Revised edition in a new layout

The Book of Miracles

By: Till-Holger Borchert,Waterman

El Libro de los milagros que recientemente ha pasado a engrosar una colección privada estadounidense está considerado uno de los últimos descubrimientos más espectaculares en el ámbito del arte renacentista en el sur de Alemania. El manuscrito, que ha llegado hasta nuestros días prácticamente íntegro, fue creado en torno a 1550 en la ciudad imperial libre de Augsburgo (Suabia) y consta de 167 páginas con ilustraciones de gran tamaño a la aguada y en acuarela, en las que aparecen representados milagrosos y en ocasiones fantasmagóricos fenómenos celestiales, constelaciones, conflagraciones e inundaciones, así como otras catástrofes y acontecimientos. La materia tratada abarca la creación del mundo y diversos episodios del Antiguo Testamento, tradiciones y crónicas medievales y hechos recientes de la época. Las ilustraciones del visionario Libro de las Revelaciones aluden incluso al futuro fin del mundo. Las ilustraciones tienen un aire sorprendentemente moderno, en ocasiones delirante, y las escuetas descripciones del Libro de los milagros transmiten una perspectiva única y muy certera de los miedos y preocupaciones vigentes en el siglo XVI. Caracterizado también por un ansia enciclopédica, el Libro de los milagros es reflejo de la curiosidad científica propia del Renacimiento alemán y, a través de la asimilación de fuentes diversas, ofrece una auténtica crónica de los horrores de la época. La presente edición facsímil reproduce por primera vez el Libro de los milagros en toda su extensión y pone una de las obras más importantes del Renacimiento alemán al alcance de los estudiosos y los apasionados del arte. Incluye un ensayo con el que se pretende ubicar el códice en su contexto cultural e histórico, así como rastrear las fuentes textuales y visuales que permitieron su creación. Especial importancia revisten las cuestiones relacionadas con los precursores artísticos y literarios del Libro de los milagros, así como la información referente a los artistas y escritores que participaron en su confección y, por supuesto, los datos conocidos sobre la persona que encargó la creación de este excepcional manuscrito iluminado y los temas que en él se tratan. El apéndice incluye una extensa descripción del manuscrito y sus miniaturas, así como una transcripción completa de los textos.
