The community of things: Netherlandish and Northern European art is a fascinating synthesis of the artistic culture of an important region of ancient Europe. The author analyzes objects on a macro scale that impose movement on the viewer, and those on a micro scale that encourage manipulation. He discusses, among other things, objects that force their circumvention, such as figures and candlesticks hanging in space, and portable, movable and moved, foldable and openable, covered and uncovered works in a fixed direction of actions. It is a real feast for the mind and soul.
