Art historians and medievalists present new studies on the transmission of artistic patterns in late medieval manuscript illumination both north and south of the Alps, a means of artistic production that played an essential role throughout the Middle Ages. They cover the transmission of pictorial cycles and isolated patterns; aspects of artistic exchange between layout, decoration, and illumination; workshops and their models--on the local and transregional transformation of artistic patterns; artistic itineraries and the rapport between illumination and monumental painting; and the re-use of artistic patterns in books of hours. The 16 papers--eight in French--are from a June 2012 conference in Berlin. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
