Making of the Margin The Master of the David Scenes And Ghent-bruges Manuscript Illumination

The subject of the present publication is the working practices of the Ghent-Bruges illuminators, active in Flanders in the decades around 1500. Its focus is on manuscripts featuring freestanding, isolated motifs painted in the margins of text pages. The author traces how this decorative system was created by the Master of the David Scenes in the Grimani Breviary, a prolific inventor of appealing borders, how it was applied by his closest collaborators, and how it was imitated and adapted by other illuminators. Among these were Simon Bening, the Carmelite sister Cornelia van Wulfschkercke, and a number of anonymous masters, including several whose oeuvres are identified here for the first time.As-Vijvers, Anne Margreet is the author of 'Making of the Margin The Master of the David Scenes And Ghent-bruges Manuscript Illumination', published 2006 under ISBN 9782503516844 and ISBN 250351684X.
