The Early Netherlandish Triptych Reinterpreted
This project will provide the first comprehensive study of Netherlandish triptychs from the early 15th century (e.g., Campin, Van Eyck) through the early 17th century (Rubens). It offers new interpretations of these works by focusing on how the triptych format structures and generates meaning. In so doing, the project demonstrates ways of understanding the construction of meaning within Netherlandish painting that escape the limitations of the problematical, but still dominant Panofskian paradigm of "disguised symbolism."
