The glittering court of the Dukes of Burgundy set a standard to which other 15th century kings and princes aspired, and which the wealthy merchant class sought to emulate. This course will examine how the dukes set about establishing a distinctive Burgundian style and in the process attracted some of the most gifted artists of the day such as Jan van Eyck, Robert Campin and Rogier van der Weyden.
