Around 1470 -1550 · Humanism, Reformation, nature and printed image
Dürer, Cranach, Holbein and Baldung bring together portrait, Bible, body, animal and science in a Renaissance shaped by cities, courtyards and engraving.
The German Renaissance developed in a network of free cities, princely courts, printer workshops and humanist homes. She does not simply copy Italy: she combines a long tradition of Nordic precision with new ideas of proportion, perspective and individual dignity. Dürer is the central figure. His travels to Venice connect Nuremberg to Italian art; his engravings give his inventions European diffusion; his portraits and nature studies elevate a face as well as a hare or a bird's wing to the rank of major subject. Cranach the Elder worked at the court of Saxony and adapted his workshop to the Reformation, to the princely portrait, to mythology and the nude. Holbein the Younger unites Basel, the humanism of Erasmus and the court of Henry VIII, describing people, instruments and fabrics with diplomatic clarity. Baldung brings a more fantastic imagination, nourished by death, desire and witchcraft. The collection therefore crosses six areas: individual, faith, antiquity, nature, knowledge and printed reproduction. The "Paintings of the German Renaissance" selection therefore compares Self-portrait at 26 and Erasmus of Rotterdam. His reading favors figures.
The German Renaissance looks precisely and diffuses powerfully: the portrait, the Bible, the animal and the engraving belong to the same project of knowledge.
