Abstract (en)

Examines illuminations by Joris Hoefnagel in the Bocskay Mira calligraphiae monumenta (Malibu, J. Paul Getty Museum, MS 20, 86.MV.527) as a stage in the development of independent still life and trompe-l'oeil illusionism; relates his nature studies to the history of Flemish so-called Ghent-Bruges manuscript illumination of the late 15th and early 16th cs. Proposes that the development of illusionistic depictions in the margins of Ghent-Bruges manuscripts derives from the imitation of pilgrimage badges and naturalia attached to the pages of earlier devotional manuscripts, associated with pilgrimages.
