Synopsis
Excerpt from Holbein and His Times
That advance of art, at the height of which Holbein stands, has its root and its foundation in the decline of the Middle Ages. This decline was brought about by the endeavours to reconcile Christian ideas with the antique, that is, to reconcile mankind with that earlier stage of culture, from which they had become more and more alienated by the spirit of Christianity, developed during the Middle Ages.
Men cast off the fundamental principle of the time, which urged the subjection and denial of nature; the harmony of mind and nature, which in antiquity had formed the basis of thought and life, became anew their aim. Nature was again to assert her rights: this was the impulse pervading all the feelings, the deeds, and the events, which established a new age.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Stepping away from abstract, Gothic idealism, this book follows the work of German and Flemish artists in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance as they championed a revolutionary form of realism in their paintings and sculptures. The author argues that this period in art history is fundamentally important in demonstrating the shift to prioritizing actual, tangible details and a humanistic perspective. The author's focus is on Hans Holbein the Younger, a prominent figure in the artistic landscape during this era of upheaval. Through a detailed examination of Holbein's life and career, the author throws light on his innovative techniques and distinctive style. This book is essential reading for understanding the transition from medieval to modern art and the ways in which the artists of the time were influenced by religious and cultural movements. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
