      Les triomphes de la Renaissance italienne sont si éclatants qu'ils ont eu tendance à reléguer dans l'ombre des pans entiers de l'art européen au XVe siècle. Dans cette synthèse sans équivalent, Jan Bialostocki, historien de l'art de renommée mondiale, corrige cette perspective et présente un tableau de toute l'activité artistique dans l'ensemble de l'Europe, de l'Espagne à la Russie, de l'Angleterre à la Bohême. Sans jamais diluer dans de vagues généralisations la personnalité de génies tels que Sluter, Fouquet, Van Eyck ou Schongauer, il caractérise les styles et les nouveaux types iconographiques en les reliant constamment aux bouleversements politiques et religieux de ce siècle qu'on a pu surnommer « l'automne du Moyen Âge ».
