Article number 10159578

Exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with The Waning Middle Ages, an exhibition held at the University of Kansas Museum of Art from 1 November to 1 December 1969. The exhibition presented French and Netherlandish art from approximately 1350 to 1500 and was organized to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Johan Huizinga's influential study The Waning of the Middle Ages. The catalogue by J. L. Schrader examines the artistic culture of the late Middle Ages through works associated with France and the Netherlands, placing them within the historical and cultural world explored by Huizinga. Richly illustrated, the publication provides a valuable perspective on late medieval art, Gothic and Early Netherlandish traditions, and the transition toward the Northern Renaissance. It is of particular interest for the study of medieval and Netherlandish art, Burgundian culture, Johan Huizinga and the historiography of the late Middle Ages.
