The present book considers the development of figurative wall painting in the southern Low Countries over a period of two centuries, between circa 1300 and 1500. The region had a long-standing tradition of monumental figurative painting, of which the earliest, romanesque, examples are still preserved at Tournai and Ghent. Despite the central role that figurative wall painting clearly continued to play in the art, propaganda, and liturgy of the courts and churches of the late medieval southern Low Countries, the medium has been largely overlooked in comparison with the attention paid by art historians to other contemporary art forms. A variety of factors have contributed to this neglect, of which the most significant are undoubtedly the random survival, and the often damaged condition, of extant wall paintings, as well as the frequently remote locations and difficulty of access to the buildings housing them. Benign neglect and active vandalism have ensured that only a fraction of the great wall painting ensembles of the late medieval era have survived. Today, only fifty or so individual murals or ensembles of the Late Gothic period not including a large number of tomb paintings once in the churches and monasteries, town halls and guild chapels, castles and hôtels of the southern Low Countries, have survived the passage of time, wars, iconoclasm, and changing fashions of interior decoration. These include many previously unrecorded wall paintings discovered beneath layers of whitewash in churches and private residences within the last twenty-five years or so, and restored by conservation staff.

Die Wiener Gewitterlandschaft mit Jupiter, Merkur, Philemon und Baucis gehört zu Peter Paul Rubens' größten und dramatischsten Landschaftsbildern. Ausgehend von den tiefgreifenden Erkenntnissen der jüngsten Restaurierung gibt der Band einen umfassenden Einblick in den Entstehungsprozess dieses faszinierenden Bildes wie auch in seine kunsthistorische Deutung. Offenbar zu seinem Vergnügen geschaffen, befand sich die Gewitterlandschaft bis zum Tod des Malers in seinem Besitz. Wie die Restaurierung zeigt, hat Rubens das Gemälde mehrfach verändert und erst zum Schluss die Geschichte von Philemon und Baucis eingefügt. Als einzige gewährten die armen, alten Eheleute Jupiter und Merkur Gastfreundschaft und wurden so vor der strafenden Flut gerettet. Die Maßnahmen der Restaurierung sowie die komplexe Zusammensetzung und Entstehung des Gemäldes werden ebenso thematisiert wie seine kunsthistorische Einordnung. Überlegungen zu Rubens` Naturdarstellung und damit zur herausragenden Stellung dieses Werkes in der europäischen Landschafsmalerei runden die Darstellung ab.
