Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Three centuries of reverse painting on glass are shown and discussed in the richly-illustrated volume of more than 100 previously unpublished reverseglass pictures. A unique feature of the book is that, for each reverse painting, the print on which it was based has been identified and is fully illustrated. The close link between reverse glass paintings and prints has long been noted in the literature, though Reverse Paintings on Glass is the first book to take this interesting subject as its central focus. A well-founded discussion on this self-contained and not easy to classify art form precedes the illustrations, which are complemented not only by details of the most important technical characteristics but also by informative commentaries on the artists and the content of the pictures. The result of the extensive research put into the investigation results in a stimulating and enlightening publication. The book comprises a wealth of images and essays, a bibliography, an index, and is fully bilingual in English and German. This volume presents one of the most important private collections worldwide of Renaissance medals from the time of Albrecht Duerer. The medals provide a fascinating glimpse into the era of the Protestant reformation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Emblems of Eminence
Seller: BuchWeltWeit Ludwig Meier e.K., Bergisch Gladbach, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Eine der weltweit bedeutendsten Privatsammlungen von Renaissance-Medaillen des Dürer-Zeitalters, hier erstmals gezeigt und beschrieben, gibt einen faszinierenden Einblick in die Reformationszeit. Die Bildnisse von Kaiser, Fürsten, Kaufleuten, Reformatoren sowie die Bibelszenen entsprechen der Gemäldekunst eines Dürer, Cranach und Holbein.Der Mensch ist bestrebt, von seiner Persönlichkeit Kenntnis zu geben. Auch über den Tod hinaus besteht der Wunsch, mit dem Glockenton des Sterbegeläuts nicht der Vergessenheit anheim zu fallen. So bringt Maximilian I., Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reichs Deutscher Nation, zu Beginn des 16. Jahrhunderts das humane Anliegen von Unsterblichkeit zum Ausdruck. Dieser Intention entspricht die gleichzeitig in Deutschland entstehende Kunstform der Porträtmedaille. Die eindrucksvollen Abbildungen im vorliegenden Buch zeigen unter anderem die einzigen nach dem Leben geschaffenen, weithin unbekannten Bildnisse Albrecht Dürers. Beide Werke der großen Medailleure Hans Schwarz und Matthes Gebel wurden von Dürer persönlich in Auftrag gegeben. Der Maler muss von dem Ergebnis derart beeindruckt gewesen sein, dass er das eigene Vorhaben des Selbstporträts in Metall aufgab. Die drei vorhandenen Selbstbildnisse auf seinen Ölgemälden zeigen Dürer im Gegensatz zu den Medaillen so, wie er sich idealisiert sah. Den Medaillenbeschreibungen in diesem Buch sind interessante Lebensläufe der Abgebildeten beigefügt. Die Renaissance-Medaillen stellen einen Höhepunkt deutscher Kunst dar, und die Begegnung mit ihnen wird beim Betrachter vielfältiges Interesse an einer großen Vergangenheit wecken. 224 pp. Englisch.
