Early Netherlandish Painting (Panofsky)
Early Netherlandish Painting
, Its Origins and Character
, is a 1953 book on
art history
by
Erwin Panofsky
, derived from the 1947-48
Charles Eliot Norton Lectures
. The book had a wide impact on studies of
Renaissance art
and
Early Netherlandish painting
in particular, but also studies in
iconography
, art history, and
intellectual history
in general. The book is particularly well-known for its iconographic treatment of
Van Eyck's
Arnolfini Portrait
as a kind of marriage contract. The book remains influential despite its reliance on black-and-white reproductions of paintings, which led to some errors of analysis.
