Читать книгу Bosch - Virginia Pitts Rembert - Страница 1

Among the many persons whose words or texts have inspired this book, four professors, now deceased, stand out: Oskar Hagen and James Watrous at the University of Wisconsin, and Robert Branner and Howard Mc P. Davis at Columbia University. All were brilliant lecturers and experts in their fields, Hagen and Branner in Medieval Art and Watrous and Davis in Northern European Art. Hagen allowed me in two seminars to explore the Saint Anthony theme in art and Bosch’s use of it in about a dozen works and Watrous supervised my masters thesis that dealt primarily with Bosch's Anthony triptych in Lisbon. Others to whom I am grateful are the dedicated personel of Parkstone Press in Paris, the publisher-editors Jean-Paul Manzo and Cornelia Sontag, their senior editor Aurelia Hardy, and three interns, Alysa Salzberg, Erin Randolph, and Pauline Chevalier. Above all, I am thankful for the continuing interest and support of my husband, Raeford Liles, to whom I dedicate this book.
