This book is the first detailed investigation of the late medieval use of the Tree of Jesse, the genealogical tree of Christ depicted on many objects across different media, created in Northern Europe in the mid-fifteenth to early sixteenth centuries. "...Very successful ... the book materialises as a generously illustrated, well-researched monograph with a solid and varied bibliography and five useful and informative appendices." --Nordic Review of Iconography "...Her book is praiseworthy for closely examining iconographical motifs and recognize their interpretive flexibility, depending on context. Green's case studies thoughtfully consider how Tree of Jesse imagery functions within each particular cultural setting." --Historians of Netherlandish Art
