5.0 out of 5 stars Great new study of Du"rer, February 11, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Albrecht Durer's Renaissance: Humanism, Reformation, and the Art of Faith (Studies in Medieval and Early Modern Civilization) (Hardcover)

A new and innovative approach to Albrecht Du"rer, with insightful observations on the role of religion in his work. Nicely illustrated. The author has an excellent knowledge and "feel" for Du"rer's art, and also knows the cultural history of the time and understands Du"rer's relationship to the reformation and to the humanist movement. Highly recommended.
