‎The Low Countries are generally considered to be the land of painting. Consequently, sculpture, especially that of the 16th century, has been insufficiently explored. In Moving Sculptures Aleksandra Lipi?ska presents a little-known chapter of the history of Netherlandish sculpture: the serial production of small-scale alabaster reliefs, altarpieces and statuettes in the workshops of Mechelen and Antwerp between c. 1525 and 1650. She gives the reader an insight into the rules of this craft, the specificity of the material, and the marketing methods employed. But the innovative element of this study lies in the fact that Lipi?ska analyses the phenomenon from the perspective of its distant recipients in Central and Northern Europe on the basis of works largely unknown to the broader public.At the Source: Production of the Alabaster Sculpture in the Southern Netherlands 1 Alabaster as a Sculpture Material 17 2 Alabaster in Netherlandish Sculpture from the Late Gothic to the Early Baroque 44 3 Serial Production of Alabaster Sculpture in Mechelen 96 4 The Spread of Alabaster Sculpture from the Low Countries 124 Part 2 At the Destination: Southern Netherlandish Alabaster Sculpture in Central and Northern Europe 5 Altarpieces 143 6 Tombs and Epitaphs 205 7 Exhibits of Real and ?Imagined?
