Rogier Van der Weyden emerged from scholarly and critical neglect only with the revival of interest in the so-called ‘Flemish Primitives’ during the second half of the nineteenth century. The immensely forceful, frequently disturbing images which Van der Weyden produced owed as much to his supreme control of paint as they did to his observation of detail, which was never permitted to dominate the general rhythm and pattern of the picture itself. These qualities fused to create a style with a direct impact but one which was the result of only the most subtle and painstaking calculations of color and balance. Dr Campbell explores Van der Weyden’s position both as official painter to the city of Brussels and within the international system of princely patronage which was evolving during his lifetime.

Campbell, Lorne

Harper&Row

What kinds of portrait were produced during the Renaissance? Who produced them and for whom? How were they painted? Why were they wanted and how were they used? in this beautiful book, Lorne Campbell addresses these fundamental questions by exploring the aesthetic, technical, social and economic aspects of Renaissance portrait-painting and by offering a close examination of the works of artists such as Jan van Eyck, Leonardo, Durer, Raphael, Holbein, and Titian. Drawing the writings and private correspondence of the painters and their patrons, and describing and analysing the ways in which sitters were individualised, idealised and characterised, Campbell shows what can be deduced about the painters intentions and the patrons requirements. Detail by detail, he builds up an understanding of the role of portrait-painting and the methods used by artists to achieve their goal. Sharply focussed, meticulously researched and sensitively presented, this handsomely illustrated book is a major contribution to the study of Renaissance art and will provide enlightenment for scholar, student and general reader alike.

The National Gallery's collection of fifteenth-century Netherlandish pictures is one of the largest and most important in the world. It includes works by Jan van Eyck, Robert Campin, Rogier van der Weyden, Petrus Christus, Dirk Bouts, Simon Marmion, Justus of Ghent, Hans Memling, Geertgen tot Sint Jans and Gerard David. In this catalogue, the detailed entry for each work represents the culmination of Dr Campbell's extensive research on the authorship, histories and iconographies of the paintings, on the patrons who commissioned them, and above all on the painters' techniques and working practices - where he has worked in close collaboration with the National Gallery's Conservation and Scientific Departments. The introductory essay describes how the painters lived and worked, how they organised their studios, how they gathered and employed reference material, how they used their pigments and media and how they marketed their pictures. There is also a history of the collection at the National Gallery. Fifty-two works are catalogued; all are reproduced in colour and are accompanied by superb details, comparative illustrations and technical photographs.

The Fifteenth-Century Netherlandish Schools

National Gallery London

This is a detailed catalogue raisonné of eighty-eight fifteenth and sixteenth century South Netherlandish paintings, with an introductory essay on the formation of this section of the royal collection between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. The principal pictures are of the highest importance: the Trinity Panels by Van Der Goes, Federico da Montefeltro attending a Reading attributed to Justus of Ghent, Quinten Metsys' portrait of Erasmus, Gossaert's Adam and Eve and his Children of Christian II of Denmark, and Bruegel's Massacre of the Innocents. There are interesting paintings, several previously unpublished, by less well-known artists and a large number of royal portraits. This is an important but little-known group of pictures, whose history is interesting in itself and casts important light on the development of taste at the British courts.

The National Gallery, London possesses an important collection of paintings by 16th-century Netherlandish artists, including Joachim Beuckelaer, Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Jean Gossart, and Quinten Massys. They are grouped here with a small number of French paintings, some by artists who came from the Low Countries (Corneille de Lyon, probably Jean Hey, and perhaps the Master of Saint Giles). Lorne Campbell’s catalogue is a model of scholarship; he examined all the pictures with conservators and rigorously researched their histories, subjects, and styles. New discoveries about artists’ techniques and practices have led to many reattributions, and the rescue from anonymity of over twenty paintings. The identities of several patrons are established or suggested, while an introductory essay explains how contemporaries regarded these paintings. Generously illustrated, with many details and technical photographs, and beautifully produced, this comprehensive catalogue is essential reading for scholars, while also introducing general readers to a vital part of the Gallery’s collection.

The Sixteenth Century Netherlandish Paintings, with French Paintings Before 1600 (National Gallery Catalogues)

This comprehensive survey traces the development of portrait painting in Northern and Southern Europe during the Renaissance, when the genre first flourished. These two regions developed their own distinct styles and techniques but were also influenced by one another in fascinating ways. In essays that focus on the intriguing relationship between artists working in Italy and northern Europe, renowned specialists analyze the notion of likeness––which, during this time, was based not only on accurate reference for posterity but also incorporated all aspects of human life, including propaganda, power, courtship, love, family, ambition, and hierarchy––through magnificent works by artists including Giovanni Bellini, Sandro Botticelli, Lucas Cranach, Albrecht Dürer, Jan van Eyck, Leonardo da Vinci, and Titian, among many others. 
The authors address different portrait types, styles, techniques, and iconographies, and discuss the connections between painting and sculpture and portrait medals. This stunning book also addresses the evolution of the full-length portrait and the “anti-ideal” in counter-portraits, which depict court jesters and dwarves. In these often satirical representations, painters could show off their skills as recorders of likeness without the restrictions imposed by idealization.
