About This Book

The author follows an artist's progress from his Augsburg roots to Basel citizenship, charting how medieval traditions, Italian styles, humanist circles and the era's printing culture and upheavals influenced his technique and subjects. The account surveys early training, guild life, family ties and major commissions, and analyses woodcuts, title-pages, religious panels and portraits for their design, symbolism and natural observation. It discusses journeys abroad, work for prominent patrons, and the tensions between devotional imagery and emerging secular portraiture, combining close visual study with biographical reconstruction and attention to the broader intellectual and technological forces shaping the art.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE

Contemporary spellings have generally been retained even when inconsistent. A small number of obvious typographical errors have been corrected and some names regularised; missing punctuation has been silently added. Advertising material has been moved to the end.

The following additional changes have been made; they can be identified in the body of the text by a grey dotted underline:
