"The paintings and drawings Jan Gossaert made for Philip IV of Burgundy and other patrons related to the sixteenth-century Burgundian court reveal the crucial role the artist played in weaving classicism and ancient themes into his own Netherlandish culture. Similarly Gossaert?s emulation of paintings by his fifteenth-century predecessor, Jan van Eyck, conveys his important contribution to the evolution of the Netherlandish tradition. Despite Gossaert?s significant place in Northern Renaissance art, there has been no monograph on him since Max Friedl nder?s volume in 1972. Nor has there been an exhibition devoted to his work since that in Bruges and Rotterdam in 1965. In light of this historiography, Ariane Mensger?s book, Jan Gossaert: Die niederl ndische Kunst zu Beginn der Neuzeit, is a welcome addition to the scant Gossaert literature. Mensger?s book, a published version of her 2000 dissertation from the University of Heidelberg, summarizes in one volume all the research conducted on Gossaert to date, making it a handy resource for any scholar of the period. Along with recent articles by Matt Kavaler, Eric Jan Sluijter, Hans Van Miegroet, Larry Silver, Lorne Campbell, Maryan Ainsworth, and others, Mensger?s book begins to readdress Gossaert?s transitory role between Netherlandish and Italianate art."
