Reseña del editor

Johan Maelwael (1365/70-1415), internationally known as Jean Malouel, is now perhaps best known as the painter of the Louvre's masterpiece "Grande Piétà Ronde." One of the most important artists of the late Middle Ages in Western Europe and court painter to the Dukes of Burgundy, Maelwael was a great innovator in painting, creating a body of work characterized by elegant, sophisticated figures, a high degree of realism and a bright color palette of deep blues and reds and sumptuous gold.

This publication, the first on Maelwael in English, describes the artist's life, his versatile work and his place in history. It offers an opportunity to rediscover a somewhat unknown late medieval master, presenting his paintings alongside contemporary metalwork, sculptures, drawings and manuscripts, including richly decorated manuscripts by his legendary cousins, the Limbourg brothers, and lifelike portraits by his contemporary Claes Sluter.

Contraportada

Johan Maelwael (1365/70-1415), internationally known as Jean Malouel, was one of the most important West European artists of the late Middle Ages. He grew up in Nijmegen as a scion of a family of successful heraldic painters and later became the court painter of the Dukes of Burgundy. This great innovator in painting created his multifaceted oeuvre nearly a century before Hieronymus Bosch. His painting is characterized by elegantly sophisticated figures, a high degree of realism and a bright colour palette with deep shades of blue, red and gold.

This publication describes Maelwael's life, his versatile work and his place in history. The paintings of Maelwael, who is rather unknown in the Netherlands, are displayed together with a wealth of unique medieval art treasures, paintings, precious metalwork, sculptures, drawings and manuscripts including richly decorated manuscripts by his legendary cousins, the Limbourg brothers, and lifelike portraits by his contemporary Claes Sluter.
