About the book >.>.> German painting from the fourteeenth to the early sixteenth century under the inspiration first of Netherlandish art and next of the Italian Renaissance attained a high-point unsurpassed in later times. Almost all the most important artists of the period are represented in the Thyssen- Bornemisza Collection by work of their own or at least of their circle among them Master Bertram Johann Koerbecke. Derick Baegert. Michael Wolgemut Albrecht D?rer and his leading followers Hans Baldung Grien and Hans Suess von Kulmbach Hans Holbein the Elder and the Younger Lucas Cranach the Elder and his sons. Bernhard Strigel and Christoph Amberger. A wide range of artistic production is covered: panels from altarpieces large and small devotional pictures mythological allegories royal and burgher portraits painted in most major centres from Saxony to the Rhine. Hamburg to the Tyrol. Each painting is reproduced in colour with paintings on reverses and details also shown in colour. The author’s extensive research has led to discoveries of long separated companion works and the reconstruction of dismantled altarpieces. Dr L?bbeke has identified missing portraits of husbands and wives and ‘reunited’ them in the catalogue and placed panels from the Collection in their original context of diptychs triptychs and polyptychs.
