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. Includes bibliographical references (p. 238-243) and index. The Northern Renaissance in Europe was a period of rapid social and religious change. This book discusses works by Albrecht Du rer and Hans Holbein--two of the greatest masters of the northern Renaissance--together with a selection of paintings by Lucas Cranach. Encompassing portraiture, religion, mythology, and allegory, these works are examined alongside others by such masters as Francois Clouet, Jan Gossaert and Joos van Cleve. Holbein's superlative drawings of members of the court of King Henry VIII can be seen side-by-side with finished paintings and miniatures of the same sitters; and this survey also includes illuminated manuscripts and early printed books. Exhibition: Queen's Gallery, The Palace of Holyroodhouse (April 2011) and at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace (October 2012). |
