- Summary:
- In his later years, Belgian art critic and poet Émile Verhaeren (1855-1916) produced a large body of writings on the arts of the Northern Renaissance by such figures as Rembrandt, Rubens, Memling, Bruegel, and Grünewald in Flanders, Holland, and Germany in the 16th and 17th centuries. Alhadeff (art history, U. of Colorado at Boulder) translates and annotates a selection of these writings in order both to rescue them from what he sees as undeserved obscurity in the field of art history and to demonstrate the centrality of their themes to Verhaeren's overall career.
