It is no coincidence that the Unterlinden Museum in Colmar houses the greatest treasures of Old German painting of the Rhenish School, for it was in this town that Martin Schongauer created his masterpieces and, nearby, Mathias Grunewald gave expression to his great talent in the Isenheim Altar. And it is to these two Old Masters above all that this book and its pictures, which have been selected with great care, are lovingly dedicated.
