Une école primitive méconnue; Nabur Martins ou le Maître de Flémalle (nouveaux documents)
A 1913 art-historical study by Louis Maeterlinck, published in Brussels and Paris by G. van Oest, on the early Flemish painter Nabur Martins, linked to the Master of Flémalle, and aimed at specialists in art history. The four plates reproduce early Netherlandish panel paintings in halftone: a bearded man holding a small object, a seated donor with a clock and skull, a Virgin and Child with kneeling donors under arches, and Moses holding the tablets of the law. Designers can take from them the stiff, dignified poses, the rich drapery folds, and the architectural frames of fifteenth-century Flemish portraiture.
