What is The age of Dürer and Holbein : art of the Northern Renaissance about?

The 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 Drer and Hans Holbeintwo of the great masters of the Northern Renaissance. Working in a variety of media that included engravings, woodcuts, illuminated manuscripts, and oil paintings, Drer and Holbein created landscapes, still lifes, and portraits of near-photographic realism, including Holbeins superlative drawings of members of Henry VIIIs court. Examined here alongside a selection of works by other Northern Renaissance mastersincluding Lucas Cranach, Franois Clouet, Jan Gossaert, and Joos van Clevethe works of Drer, Cranach, and Holbein are shown to be a blend of techniques and ideals old and new.
