Lucas Cranach by Max J. Friedlander and Jakob Rosenberg
The qualities that made the sixteenth-century German artist Lucas Cranach so successful in his lifetime were, ironically, responsible for a serious decline in his reputation after his death. The fluency of his brush, the easy appeal of many of his subjects, and the efficiency with which he organized a prolific workshop were all held against him at one time or another by critics. This edition contains 500 black and white illustrations and 32 new color plates. This book is an outstanding account of the work of one of the great artists of the German Renaissance.
