Early Flemish painting
From the Adoration of the Lamb to the great polyptych of the Last Judgement, the masterworks of 15th century Flemish painting constitute one of the central achievements of European art. These images are part of our collective unconscious.
Beyond their theological message, they are able to move us through both their extraordinary attention to detail and their majestic compositions.
From Melchior Broederlam to Quentin Metsys, each individual artist made his own unique contribution to his heritage : Jan van Eyck's eye for detail, Rogier van der Weyden's emotional eloquence, Petrus Christus's mastery of linear perspective, the astonishing range of religious feeling in the work of Dieric Bouts and Hugo van der Goes, Justus of Ghent's obsessive quest for reality and the haunting fantasy world of the great Hieronymus Boch.
