Text covers the political and spiritual milieu, the illuminated manuscripts, Dutch style, and Dutch presence abroad. From the dust jacket: "Dutch style differs from that of its neighbors in its more authentic, spontaneous vision and realistic representation of the external world and human activity. The humanistic realism of its style finds its religious counterpart in the Devotio Moderna, a movement that originated in western Holland during the same period and that foreshadowed Dutch Protestantism."
