The book examines the work of notable artists such as Simon Marmion, the Vienna Master of Mary of Burgundy, Gerard David, Gerard Horenbout, and Simon Bening, showcasing both devotional and secular manuscripts. It places these artistic achievements within a broad historical context, exploring the role of court patronage, the emergence of personal libraries, and the international appeal of the Flemish style. This volume offers insight into a period where manuscript illumination reached its apex just before the widespread advent of the printed book, revealing a visual legacy that shaped the art world.
