The Arch Motif in Netherlandish Painting of the Fifteenth Century: Part One

Abstract

The Altar of the Mystic Lamb by the van Eycks and the Altar of the Blessed Sacrament by Dieric Bouts mark two of the most important stages in the development of Flemish painting during the fifteenth century. Both are culminations of evolutions that precede them and both are, at the same time, curtain-raisers for the artistic evolution that was to follow them. Approximately one generation separates them from each other—a time span which, however brief, is filled with revolutionary changes not only in the style but also in the concept of the art of painting.
