Numerous color and b & w reproductions from mostly European and a few US museums, reinforce the commentary of Stepanov (St. Petersburg Institute of Art History) on Cranach the Elder as a German Renaissance master. Though not as well known as his Catholic Italian contemporaries, Protestant Cranach bequeathed a legacy of diverse works on religious and secular subjects (hunting scenes are notable) and painting techniques which influenced generations of artists. As a court artist (for Frederick the Wise, Saxony), he also designed costumes, furniture, and parade-ground arms. Includes a chronology of the works of Cranach and his notable peers, but no index. 9.5x12.5" c. Book News Inc

Lucas Cranach (1472-1553) was one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance, as shown by the diversity of his artistic interests as well as his awareness of the social and political events of this time. He developed a number of painting techniques which were afterwards used by several generations of artists. His somewhat mannered style and spending palette are easily recognized in numerous portraits of monarchs, cardinals, courtiers and their ladies, religious reformers, humanists and philosophers. A part of the Great Painters Collection, translated from the Russian by Paul Williams. 109 full color plates and numerous black and white and two-color illustrations interspersed by text. Includes a chronological table of the work of Cranach and his notable contemporaries.
