Renaissance art; European history

Illustrious turning point - Augsburg

as the centre of the German Renaissance.

Hans Holbein the Elder and Hans Burgkmair

are regarded alongside Albrecht Dürer as

the forerunners of Renaissance painting in

Germany. The prosperous Imperial and

trading city of Augsburg was an important

centre during this artistic golden age. By

means of high-quality works this volume

presents a comprehensive insight into the

epochal revolution from the Middle Ages to

the modern age.

Augsburg was influenced by the humanist culture of Italy from an early stage. Thanks to the art-loving trading houses with international operations like the Fuggers, as well as the long sojourns of Emperor Maximilian I and the frequent Imperial diets, the city offered artists like Holbein the Elder and Burgkmair an ideal setting for the development of a new form of art. Together with the works of Dürer, Holbein the Younger and others, many of their most important works bear witness to the highly fertile and yet contrasting ways in which the two artists adopted the Italian Renaissance.
