Cranach

(London). (2008). 4to. Exhibition catalogue. Light wear to d.j. NF/NF. One of the most versatile artists of the German Renaissance, Lucas Cranach the Elder's (1472-1553) activities as a painter, printmaker, and book illustrator reveal a distinctly individual style; his skill in many different media helped him to create a highly successful workshop. Cranach's outstanding gifts are evident not only in his portrayal of landscape, animals, and the female nude, but also in devotional paintings and portraiture, in his later work as chief propagandist of the Protestant cause, and in his inventive treatments of biblical and mythological subjects. Addenda. Illus., 240 in full-color. 400p.
