Add to basketThe Northern Renaissance was a period of profound social and religious upheaval in Europe, with the rapid spread of humanism and the burgeoning Protestant Reformation sweeping the continent. Reflecting this momentous change is the glorious art of the period, which draws on the complex themes of religion, allegory, and classical myth and is further characterized by superb technical skill coupled with an interest in capturing likeness with almost psychological precision. This sumptuously illustrated volume features works by German artists Albrecht Durer and Hans Holbein--two of the great masters of the Northern Renaissance. Working in a variety of media that included engravings, woodcuts, illuminated manuscripts, and oil paintings, Durer and Holbein created landscapes, still lifes, and portraits of near-photographic realism, including Holbein's superlative drawings of members of Henry VIII's court. Examined here alongside a selection of works by other Northern Renaissance masters--including Lucas Cranach, Francois Clouet, Jan Gossaert, and Joos van Cleve--the works of Durer, Cranach, and Holbein are shown to be a blend of techniques and ideals old and new. Drawn from the Royal Collection's world-class paintings and drawings, 'The Northern Renaissance' marks a major reexamination of works that have been little considered during the past forty years and offers a uniquely beautiful overview of a fascinating period in European art. Catalog of an exhibition held at the Queen's Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhous, April, 2011 and at the Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace, October, 2012. BEAUTIFUL COPY!!!
