PRESS OPINIONS
— " All students of early Flemish art will unite in congratulating the veteran
scholar, Mr. Weale, on the completion of this book. It represents and sums up the labour
of fifty years, ungrudgingly given. ... A masterly work, which will long remain the
leading authority upon the lives and works of two brothers who fixed the lines on which
northern art was to develop itself during almost two centuries."
Studio:— "This monumental work, with its wealth of fine photogravure plates, and
other illustrations, the value of which to the student of Flemish painting it is impossible
to over-estimate, is eminently characteristic of the veteran critic who is responsible for
its
publication."
Morning Post
— " Practically the research of a lifetime. It is not difficult to account
for the fascination exercised by the subject. . . . Undeniably the last word in Eyckian
criticism, and should prove invaluable to every student of Netherlandish art."
Atheriitum
— " A clearly reasoned and detailed statement of the place of the Van Eycks
in the history of the painting, not only of the Netherlands, but also of Europe generally.
In the monumental work before us we have one of the most authoritative and scholarly
works that have been published for many years. The individuality of the author, his
sincerity and knowledge, are stamped on every page."
Burlington:— "Mr. Weale ... has produced a book absolutely indispensable to all
students of the early painting of the Netherlands, and one that completely supersedes
the majority of its predecessors. . . . His work is in the main above criticism."
