The Pictorialization of Durer's Drawings in Northern Europe in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

The Pictorialization of Durer's Drawings in Northern Europe in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries Book Description

This book examines the unique phenomenon of the pictorialization of Durer's drawings. Representative Northern European painters in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries - such as Hans Schaufelein, Jacob Hoefnagel and Jan Brueghel the Elder - reproduced Durer's drawings, from single motifs to whole compositions in brilliant colors. This publication discusses the character of Durer's workshop, preferences for drawings in Renaissance Germany, questions about authorship and ownership around works of art and the reception and adaptation of the Northern Renaissance art in the Prague Mannerism. It also demonstrates how in the course of the sixteenth century the evaluation of Durer's drawings in Northern Europe changed.
