From Bosch to Breuil. Favorite paintings
39.99 €
The Northern Renaissance is not so much a variation on a common European process as an independent, deeply unique phenomenon. German and Netherlandish artists Jan van Eyck, Hieronymus Bosch, Albrecht Dürer, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and Matthias Grünewald did not limit themselves to copying individual forms of Italian painting, but rather embodied in their work their own original vision, imbued with a mystical worldview and symbolism. In their whimsical paintings, the religious intertwines with the mundane, God reveals himself in the harmony of nature, biblical themes permeate earthly life, and reflect a desperate search for truth, anxious premonitions, the quiet poetry of everyday life in all its details—and the ugliness and meaninglessness of a life devoid of spirituality.

This illustrated edition features lectures by art historian Paola Dmitrievna Volkova, author of the renowned "Bridge Across the Abyss" series on Northern Renaissance artists, revised and expanded for the reader's convenience. This book is perfect for those who appreciate art and want a truly valuable addition to their library.
