Early Netherlandish Triptychs

Early Netherlandish Triptychs offers an in-depth examination of the transformative role of triptych altarpieces in fifteenth-century Netherlandish art, analyzing how these works reflect and negotiate the relationship between artist, donor, sacred subject, and their original physical settings. Moving beyond traditional art historical approaches focused solely on stylistic evolution and individual artists, this study highlights how the rise of secular patrons in the burgeoning bourgeoisie led to a shift in the purpose and design of religious art.
