Albrecht Durer Und Sein Kreisbeschreibender Katalog Der Zeic

Kunstmuseum Basel’s Kupferstichkabinett is home to a unique collection of drawings by late 15th and early 16th century German masters. Conceived as a scholarly catalogue, this publication is devoted to a particularly important part of the collection: drawings by Albrecht Dürer and his circle. That circle included those artists who worked in Dürer’s workshop or had an affinity with him artistically: Hans Baldung Grien, Hans Schäufelin, Hans von Kulmbach, Hans Springinklee and Hans Leu the Younger. Most of the works come from the collection of Basel-based lawyer Basilius Amerbach (1533-1591), which was acquired from Amerbach’s heirs by the city of Basel in 1661. Seminal work on the art of drawing during the German Renaissance First scholarly and systematic publication of key works from Basel’s Kupferstichkabinett
