Description: Fifty years after his death (25 March 1963) and 75 years following the publication of De Noord-Nederlandsche Schilderkunst, G.J. Hoogewerff's comprehensive five-volume study on early painting in the Northern Netherlands serves as a starting point for exciting new research by Dutch art historians. In this book, based on the Proceedings of the Congress '75 years after Hoogewerff', renowned and promising scholars comment on the value of Hoogewerff's work, his academic choices, and the role his research has played in art history from the twentieth century to the present day. New perspectives on medieval Dutch painting, sculpture, and book illumination will entice and fascinate the reader. Dutch medieval art, we now know, cannot be accurately studied without considering the functional environment, the artistic exchange among diverse media and disciplines, and the larger context of European culture as a whole.
Notes: Published on the occasion of the conference "75 years after Hoogewerff, an inventory of Northern Netherlandish art up to 1420", which was held on 22 and 23 May  2012 at the University Library of the University of Amsterdam.
