"Opening Doors" is the first book of its kind: a comprehensive study of the emergence and evolution of the Netherlandish triptych from the early fifteenth through the early seventeenth centuries. Moving chronologically from early triptychs such as Campin's Mérode Triptych and Van Eyck's Dresden Triptych to sixteenth-century works by Bosch, and closing with a discussion of Rubens, Jacobs considers how artists negotiated the idea of the threshold. From her analysis of Campin's ambiguous divisions between the space represented across the panels, to Van der Weyden's invention of the "arch motif" that organized relations between the viewer and the painting, to Van der Goes's complex hierarchical structures, to Bosch's unprecedentedly unified spaces, Jacobs shows us how Netherlandish artists' approach to the format changed and evolved, culminating in the early seventeenth century with Rubens's great Antwerp altarpieces.
