Religious paintings still found today in English churches, cathedrals, and colleges have rarely been studied in depth. Hidden away in country churches and colleges, they have received little attention, and yet they add greatly to the understanding of Continental art of the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. This book brings together over 70 Northern European paintings and altar pieces. The artwork demonstrates the high quality of the output of Netherland workshops, particularly of the Antwerp Mannerists, as well as the remarkable individual works from Germany, many of which drew upon Dürer's prints for inspiration. The author traces the origins of the works, which were frequently produced with a foreign trade in mind, and shows how they found their way to their present locations, often as memorials, or to enrich the ecclesiastical buildings. By considering how these benefactions were made possible by the dispersal of religious works on the continent in the wake of the Napoleonic wars, picked up by travellers, or sold through the London art market, this book offers interesting insight into the history of collecting.

Established in 1950, the Columbia Museum of Art is the only public museum in South Carolina with an extensive collection of international art. This is thanks in no small part to significant donations from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation between 1954 and 1974, which have made the museum one of the nation's major depositories of Kress gifts of art. This catalogue serves as a striking visual reference to the museum's holdings in European art from the late Gothic period to the end of the Renaissance and includes paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, decorative bronzes, furniture, ceramics, stained glass, and textiles. In all, eighty-four pieces are presented in color illustrations and detailed in an art historical context to benefit scholars and researchers as well as interested museum visitors. Fifty-six works of Renaissance art--several by such prominent figures as Bernardo Daddi, Sandro Botticelli, Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio, Andrea Solario, Mariotto Albertinelli, Albrecht Dürer, Parmigianino, Ambrosius Benson, Alessandro Allori, François Clouet, and Jacopo Tintoretto--are described by accomplished art historian Charles R. Mack and a team of researchers in catalogue essays that each provide an in-depth consideration of the artist's biography and contribution, the work, its provenance, and its history of attributions, ownership, and exhibition. The entries also describe such matters as condition, conservation history, and, in the case of paintings, the authenticity of frames. Arranged in chronological order by date of execution, the pieces in this section represent most of the museum's Kress materials. An additional twenty-six pieces are more briefly described in an illustrated checklist. The volume also includes an essay on the formation and distribution of the Kress Collection and an essay on the history of medieval and Renaissance art, with particular attention paid to the museum's holdings. The catalogue concludes with three appendixes treating changes in attribution, the correlation of museum inventory numbers with catalogue numbers, and the correlation of 1962 Kress Collection catalogue numbers with new catalogue numbers.

Central Europe occupies a prominent place in many realms of eighteenth-century culture. This volume is the catalogue of an exhibition of drawings, organized in 1989 by The Art Museum, Princeton University, which presents some of the little-known accomplishments of artists from the region of present-day East and West Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and parts of Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. Providing the first available survey of drawings of the period in English, the illustrated introduction to the catalogue considers the works in historical and artistic context. The book includes important drawings by artists such as Cosmas Damian Asam, Egid Quirin Asam, Matthus Gnther, and Adrian Zingg. Published for the first time are unique drawings by such important sculptors as Georg Raphael Donner and Franz Xaver Messerschmidt. The fully illustrated catalogue contains 105 entries, many of which deal with major issues of art of the time and treat the drawings exhibited in relation to works elsewhere. Biographies are presented for all the artists exhibited.
