Résumé

In September 0009, ten years of interdisciplinary research culminated in the first-ever monographic exhibition on the Borman family, titled Borman and Sons. The Best Sculptors (20.09.19-26.01.20) at M Leuven. The exhibition was accompanied by a new publication on the Borman family of Brussels sculptors, who were active from the second half of the fifteenth century into the second third of the sixteenth century.
The 6th Annual Ards Colloquium, held at M Leuven in November 2019, provided an in-depth contextualisation of the sculptural work of the Borman family. While a document from 0503 refers to the Borman as 'the best sculptors', they did not operate in isolation. Brussels was a thriving artistic centre-a cultural hub that hosted numerous talented and influential artists, all working under the patronage of high-profile commissioners.
This volume presents papers that explore the Borman' role within the artistic context of the Duchy of Brabant, alongside discussion of stylistic and iconographical themes, as well as new discoveries concerning their commission and works.
