By the end of the fifteenth century, the Renaissance had caused a revolution in the art of the German-speaking lands. The century that followed would see a further flourishing, set against the backdrop of two other German innovations: printing and the protestant reformation.
We will begin with the career of Albrecht Dürer, arguably the most important of all German Renaissance artists, before moving to the life and work of Hans Holbein. Although these two artists will be our primary focus, we will also explore the work of Matthias Grünewald, Tilman Riemenschneider, and Lucas Cranach the Elder.
