Navy boards with gilt spine lettering. Glossy color-illustrated dust jacket with white lettering. 160 pp. Mainly color illustrations. Color map. One of the very few books available on this subject in English, this volume presents a selection of the best and most representative works from the Victoria and Albert Museum's extensive collection of late-medieval Netherlandish sculpture. Ranging from small, single figures and devotional altar carvings to full-scale altarpieces, the book looks not only at these fine sculptures themselves but at their social and artistic context as well. The result is a splendidly illustrated general introduction to the subject, accessible to all those interested in medieval art as well as to students and scholars. The principle categories of sculptural production are all represented, from the free-standing figure, the altarpiece and the small-scale devotional aid. Subjects range from statues of the Virgin and Child to narrative reliefs. Materials vary from alabaster and stone to woods such as oak, walnut and boxwood. 2002.
