Paintings Gallery, Dresden
(Great Museums of the World). Includes bibliographical references and index.
Old Masters Picture Gallery Dresden
Many of the exhibited works are among Europe's major paintings from the Renaissance to the end of the 18th century. The beginnings of the Gemäldegalerie can be traced back to the Saxon electors' Kunstkammer, founded in 1560. Through extensive purchases, August III was able to make it into a unique collection. The inventory of Italian Renaissance paintings is exceptional, including Raphal's "Sistine Madonna," Giorgione's "Sleeping Venus" and Titian's "The Tribute Money." Dutch and Flemish painting of the 17th century, by artists such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, Ruben and van Dyck, are another focus of the collection. Spanish, French and German paintings are also among the museum's art treasures.
Hans Holbein the Younger
Addressing the critical reception of painter Hans Holbein the Younger (1497/98-1543), this volume consists of two parts. The first section comprises a series of short essays reflecting responses to Holbein throughout history which forged his critical and popular reputation. This section also includes overviews of the most important monographs and exhibitions, as well as a selection of research published since 1980. The second, much larger part is an annotated bibliography containing some 2,500 entries on a range of subjects including books, essays in scholarly journals, and articles published in the popular media.
