| Biography of old oil painting master Broederlam, Melchior what we can copy |
|
Broederlam, Melchior
(active 1381-1409).
Netherlandish painter, court painter to
Philip the Bold |
|
|
|
Duke of Burgundy, from 1387. Documents show
that Broederlam Melchior was a busy and versatile artist, but
Broederlam, Melchior’s only surviving works
are two wings from an altarpiece
representing The Annunciation and Visitation
and The Presentation and Flight into Egypt (Musee
des Beaux-Arts, Dijon, 1394-99). They are
among the first and finest examples of
International Gothic, combining lavish
decorative display with realistic touches
that look forward to the later development
of the Netherlandish School. The figure of
St Joseph in The Flight into Egypt, for
example, is represented as an authentic
peasant. |
