Title: Emperor Maximilian I and the Age of Dürer
Description: Prestel, 2012. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 414. This exhibition catalog takes readers inside the world of early 16th-century Europe, where Maximilian I (1459-1519), known as the Last Knight, helped launch the German Renaissance. One of Maximilian's most important legacies is the work created in his honour by some of the greatest artists of his time, most notably Albrecht Dürer. Today many of these works reside in the Albertina Museum in Vienna, and they are featured in this elegant volume. In addition to works by Dürer, the book includes reproductions of the extraordinary Triumphal Procession of Albrecht Altdorfer and his workshop, and the monumental woodcut Arch of Honor. This book explores the artistic culture of Maximilian's era, with numerous examples from the Albertina's own collection as well as painted portraits, exquisite illuminated manuscripts, precious sculptures, and splendid tapestries from some of the world's leading museums. Brought together in this elegant volume, these works offer valuable insight into Maximilian's public relations machinery. The book also features scholarly articles devoted to Maximilian's complex artistic projects that will become key to the literature on Emperor Maximilian and the art of his time. ISBN: 9783791351728. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
