Editorial Review:

The Art Book, August 2006:
'This is a very good book indeed... There are many excellent
insights.'

Book Description:
This innovative book presents a fresh view of fifteenth-century Netherlandish art and the significance of its contributions to contemporary Italian art, notably in such areas as oil painting, landscape and portraiture. Focusing on Florence, a prime centre of renaissance culture, the book explores for the first time the profound impact of Netherlandish works on Italian painters, including Leonardo, Perugino and Ghirlandaio.

Paula Nuttall discusses Italian ownership of Netherlandish paintings in the fifteenth century and the shared artistic concerns of Florentine and Netherlandish painters. She examines in depth the various means by which artistic contact occurred, the growth in demand for Netherlandish art in Florence, and the holdings of the Medici and other collectors. With particular emphasis on the period 1460-1500, when the vogue for Netherlandish painting was at its height, the author shows that the consequences of Italian exposure to Netherlandish art were far more sweeping than has been previously understood.

- An excellent book
It is such a pleasure to read a book that finally points out that the Florentine painters were not the leaders-of-the-painting-world they have mistakenly believed to be, since Vasari's Florentine-propaganda book, The Lives of the Artists. The quattrocento Florentines themselves were the first to say that they were trying, unsuccessfully, to emulate the Flemish painters: compare Masaccio and van Eyck; the paintings are virtually contemporary. The book is beautifully made and very well written. I recommend it highly.

- Beautiful
The is a most beautiful book: for the ideas, which are illuminating; for the way it transports you into the world of the 15th century art world; and not least, for the printing.
