Trompeuses séductions. La Chute d’Icare des Musées royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique by Dominique Allart, Christina Currie

“…Under the worn and retouched paint layer, camouflaged by a yellowed varnish, the infrared reflectogram reveals a studious and clumsy underdrawing that is neither characteristic of Pieter Bruegel the Elder nor of Pieter Brueghel the Younger, his elder son and primary copyist.

Texts by Petrus Wilhelmi de Grudencz in the context of the late medieval ars poetriae by Bartosz Awianowicz

“…The relatively few departures from the rules of poetria can be interpreted as either products of the author's invention (the abab rhyme pattern in Probitate eminentem and the aaab cccda aeae pattern in Presulem ephebeatum) or as a result of some degree of carelessness on the part of either Petrus Wilhelmi himself or the copyist (irregular versification in Pergrata era, Pontifices ecclesiarum and Probitate eminentem). …”
