Actually, the Dutch painter Jeroen Bosch doesn't really need an introduction, and yet I must admit that many elements in this book surprised me. To begin with, I didn’t know that he belonged to the wealthy elite of the city of 's Hertogenbosch in what is now the Netherlands, while I thought he led a marginal existence. That was clearly a romanticization of me. Moreover, his exuberant apocalyptic images appear to be clearly placed in a long pictorial tradition in which monsters, devils and semi-human creatures predominate. Still, I have the impression that he took this genre to a much "higher" level, although that is a "tongue in cheek" expression in this context. This booklet is wonderfully enjoyable, although the explanation of Bosch's technique remained a bit on the surface.… (altro)

Zes eeuwen terug was Brugge de bakermat van de Vlaamse primitieven. Brugge was toen een van de belangrijkste steden van Europa: een internationaal handelscentrum waar buitenlandse handelslieden elkaar ontmoetten. In dat middeleeuwse Brugge wordt u rondgeleid door Till-Holger Borchert, directeur van de Brugse Musea. De rijkdom van de stad en haar kunstminnende bewoners trok tal van kunstenaars aan. De voortrekkers onder de zogenaamde Vlaamse primitieven – Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, Hugo van der Goes en Gerard David – ontwikkelden in de loop van de vijftiende eeuw een nieuwe stijl in de schilderkunst, die tot in Zuid-Europa zijn invloed liet voelen. Hoewel veel van hun schilderijen nu tot de topstukken van de grootste buitenlandse musea behoren, wist Brugge toch een schitterende staalkaart van zijn eigen erfenis te behouden. Met dit boek haalt u die erfenis in huis. Het is de perfecte inleiding voor wie het kunstzinnige Brugge beter wil leren kennen. Het ideale souvenir ook voor wie in de vele Brugse musea de Vlaamse primitieven heeft bewonderd.
Till-Holger Borchert maakt deel uit van de expertencommissie bij de restauratie van het Lam Gods en was ook te zien in de documentaire 'Geheimen van het Lam Gods', vrt maart 2020.

A full, faithful reproduction of The Book of Miracles, the German 16th-century manuscript (1550) of supernatural phenomena, and one of the most spectacular discoveries in Renaissance art.

Till-Holger Borchert's "Masterpieces in Detail: Early Netherlandish Art from van Eyck to Bosch" is a feast for the eyes and a meal for the mind. Elegantly written and stunningly presented, Borchert's gorgeous book is a must read for those interested in art. The details are extraordinary and provide visual clues to the secrets hidden within the artworks of the Early Netherlandish Masters from the 15th to the 17th centuries. For those in question of the title, "Early Netherlandish" does not refer to the current country of The Netherlands but instead is an historical term referring to art produced in Flanders, Brabant, and the Hainault which include the cities of Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Brussels and Leuven. For me, Borchert's volume provides an important companion guide to the museums of Bruges and Flemish painting. "Masterpieces in Detail: Early Netherlandish Art from van Eyck to Bosch" is a large format book from Prestel, comparable to the wonderful Taschen editions.… (altro)
