%0 Journal Article %T Images for 'Location and the experience of early Netherlandish artĄŻ %A Jeanne Nuechterlein %J Journal of Art Historiography %D 2012 %I %X In The Limewood Sculptors of Renaissance Germany, Michael Baxandall incorporated contingent site-specific observations into his interpretation of Tilman RiemenschneiderĄŻs Holy Blood Altarpiece (1499-1505). Where Baxandall typically linked such site-specific analysis to the processes of authorial intent, the present article expands this mode of inquiry to investigate how the contingent viewing contexts of early Netherlandish art could have affected viewersĄŻ perceptions of meaning, in ways that may or may not have accorded with the artistsĄŻ or patronsĄŻ expectations. This approach potentially yields new interpretations that cannot easily arise in a museum setting. %K northern Renaissance art %K early Netherlandish art %K museums %K Baxandall %K perception %U http://arthistoriography.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/nuechterlein-images.pdf
