This volume contains a statistical study of 287 Early Netherlandish paintings with domestic settings. The results of the statistical study are compared to information culled from fifteenth and early sixteenth century household inventories to suggest that painters and their workshops manipulated depictions of domestic settings and the objects contained within them to signify workshop or civic identity within accepted iconographical frameworks.
Reviews
“Dr. LeZotte’s use of statistics, along with archival records, to reveal more about workshop practices is an important contribution to scholarship. . . . The work is also one of the few places in which one could encounter an examination of guild regulations and how these influenced artworks visually.” – Dr. Amy Morris, Assistant Professor of Art History, Southeastern Louisiana University
“Without a doubt, Dr. LeZotte’s work is an important contribution to the discourse on early Netherlandish painting of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.” - Dr. Stephen M. Wagner, Professor of Medieval Art, Graduate Studies Coordinator, Department of Art History, Savannah College of Art and Design
