Opening Doors: The Early Netherlandish Triptych Reinterpreted,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Opening Doors is the first book of its kind: a comprehensive study of the emergence and evolution of the Netherlandish triptych from the early fifteenth through the early seventeenth centuries. The modern term triptych did not exist during the period Lynn Jacobs discusses. Rather, contemporary French, Dutch, and Latin documents employ a very telling descriptionthey call the triptych a painting with doors. Using this term as her springboard, Jacobs considers its implications for the structure and meaning of the triptych. The fundamental nature of the format created doors that established thresholds, boundaries, and interconnections between physical parts of the triptychthe center and wings, the interior and the exteriorand between types of meaning, the sacred and the earthly, different narrative moments, different spaces, different levels of status, and, ultimately, different worlds. Moving chronologically from early triptychs such as Campins Mrode Triptych and Van Eycks Dresden Triptych to sixteenthcentury works by Bosch, and closing with a discussion of Rubens, Jacobs considers how artists negotiated the idea of the threshold. From her analysis of Campins ambiguous divisions between the space represented across the panels, to Van der Weydens invention of the arch motif that organized relations between the viewer and the painting, to Van der Goess complex hierarchical structures, to Boschs unprecedentedly unified spaces, Jacobs shows us how Netherlandish artists approach to the format changed and evolved, culminating in the early seventeenth century with Rubenss great Antwerp altarpieces.
