- Summary:
- The names Albrecht Durer and Hans Holbein the Younger evoke the dazzling accomplishments of Renaissance panel painting and printmaking, but they may not summon images of stained glass. Yet Durer, Holbein, and their southern German and Swiss contemporaries designed some of the most splendid works in the history of the medium. This lavish volume examines the contributions made by these extraordinarily gifted draftsmen and the equally talented painters who rendered their compositions in glass.
- Included are discussions of both monumental church windows and smaller-scale stained-glass panels made for religious, civic, and private buildings. The subjects of these rarely seen drawings and panels range from traditional religious topics to secular themes, including love, the influence of the planets, and battles. Painting on Light includes drawings by Durer, Holbein, Albrecht Altdorfer, Hans Baldung Grien, and Jorg Breu the Elder.
