Description
"Women of Distinction presents an intriguing and richly illustrated overview of the Burgundian period in the Low Countries, a pinnacle of prosperity and artistic production. Margaret of York and Margaret of Austria, two powerful women who held court in Mechelen around 1500, are a central part of this success story." "With more than 250 splendid colour reproductions of international works of art and objects, this book brings the world of these two female sovereign to life. Works by masters such as the sculptor Conrad Meit and the painters Bernard van Orley and Jan Gossaert, among others, present a colourful image of Burgundian court life in all its splendour. Brief commentaries situate the works of art in their socio-historical context and stimulating essays sketch a far-reaching, in-depth image of the two Margarets. The unique combination of word and image makes the book Women of Distinction a gift of distinction as well. Whether for reading or just looking, this book is pure enjoyment."--BOOK JACKET.
