Review(s)
"Taken together, the essays in the present volume do much to advance our knowledge of this critical moment in the history of art. They are worth the attention of all who study and teach this material." (Stephen Perkinson, in Speculum, 100/2, 2025, p. 592)
Summary
Since 1806, scholars from various elds of research have studied the lives and works of the Maelwael Van Lymborch artistic dynasty from Nijmegen (the Netherlands). Active around 1400 − initially in their native Nijmegen and later in France − the Van Lymborch brothers created hundreds of miniatures, and their uncle Johan Maelwael various paintings and polychrome sculptures, which became highlights of the International Gothic style. Their extraordinary quality, their emotional impact and their intelligent stylistic innovations are currently attracting the attention of an ever increasing number of researchers.
The Maelwael Van Lymborch Studies, − an initiative of the Maelwael-Van Lymborch Studies Foundation, − is an international series aiming to bring together these researchers and o er them a forum by publishing the latest discoveries and insights into the artists and their work in the context of various cultures, from Gelre, France, Italy, the Holy Roman Empire, Flanders, England, and elsewhere. The series fosters cross-cultural, transnational, and multi-disciplinary exploration, considering proposals from across the spectrum of analytic approaches and methodologies. Thus, the Maelwael Van Lymborch Studies monitors the pulse of current research and offers an impulse for new exploration.
