Book excerpt: One of the very few books available on this subject in English, this volume presents a selection of the best and most representative works from the Victoria and Albert Museum's extensive collection of late-medieval Netherlandish sculpture. Ranging from small, single figures and devotional altar carvings to full-scale altarpieces, the book looks not only at these fine sculptures themselves but at their social and artistic context as well. The result is a splendidly illustrated general introduction to the subject, accessible to all those interested in medieval art as well as to students and scholars.
