Courtauld Summer School day 3
Another good day at the Summer School. Today focused on The Master of Flemalle or Robert Campin, again looking in detail at a selection of works attributed to him with the course leader Dr Susie Nash.
In the morning we went into some detail on who this artist was, whether he was Robert Campin who taught Roger van de Weyden or whether he was the unnamed master of the Flemalle panels. Also whether all the works attributed to him are in fact by the same hand.
In the afternoon we focused on the Seilern Triptych in the Courtauld collection. We looked at detailed micro photography of it and talked through the iconography then spent time before the actual picture thinking about what we had learnt. Finally we went into the conservation department to look at the x-rays of the picture and to discuss changes which had been made while it was being painted. Susie Nash had worked closely with this picture so it was fascinating to hear new research and ideas about it.
