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.

This book examines the unique phenomenon of the pictorialization of Dürer's drawings. Representative Northern European painters in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries - such as Hans Schäufelein, Jacob Hoefnagel and Jan Brueghel the Elder - reproduced Dürer's drawings, from single motifs to whole compositions in brilliant colors. This publication discusses the character of Dürer's workshop, preferences for drawings in Renaissance Germany, questions about authorship and ownership around works of art and the reception and adaptation of the Northern Renaissance art in the Prague Mannerism. It also demonstrates how in the course of the sixteenth century the evaluation of Dürer's drawings in Northern Europe changed.
