‘European art c[irca] 1350-1420. European art of the second half of the 14^th century has received extremely varied treatment at the hands of historians. It is the half century of moral, political and economic crisis following the Black Death in the middle years of the century. Various attempts have been made to demonstrate the presence of moral and political uncertainty and, indeed, also class distinctions and struggles in the form of art produced. Even attempts to show that the plague seriously interrupted the production of art are unconvincing.’
