Early Netherlandish Painting

by Erwin Panofsky

This is a 1953 book on art history by Erwin Panofsky, derived from the 1947-1948 Charles Eliot Norton Lectures. It had an influence on studies of Renaissance art and Early Netherlandish painting in particular, but also studies in iconography, art history, and intellectual history in general.
