Hirmer Verlag - Renaissance In The North Holbein Burgkmair And The Age Of The Fuggers - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Illustrious turning point Augsburg as the centre of the German Renaissance. Hans Holbein the Elder and Hans Burgkmair are regarded alongside Albrecht D rer as the forerunners of Renaissance painting in Germany. The prosperous Imperial and trading city of Augsburg was an important centre during this artistic golden age. By means of high - quality works this volume presents a comprehensive insight into the epochal revolution from the Middle Ages to the modern age. Augsburg was influenced by the humanist culture of Italy from an early stage. Thanks to the art - loving trading houses with international operations like the Fuggers as well as the long sojourns of Emperor Maximilian I and the frequent Imperial diets the city offered artists like Holbein the Elder and Burgkmair an ideal setting for the development of a new form of art. Together with the works of D rer Holbein the Younger and others many of their most important works bear witness to the highly fertile and yet contrasting ways in which the two artists adopted the Italian Renaissance.
