"Illuminated here are the relationships between visual culture, faith, and gender in the courtly, monastic, and urban spheres of the early modern Burgundian Netherlands. By examining works by artists such as the Master of Mary of Burgundy, Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, and Bernard van Orley, [this book] identifies and explores pictorial constructions of masculinity and femininity in regard to the expectations, experiences, and practices of devotion. ... Engages scholars in a range of disciplines: art history, history, religion and literature, as well as women's and men's studies." (dj).
