Albrecht Drer und sein Kreis

Kunstmuseum Basels 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 Drer and his circle. That circle included those artists who worked in Drers workshop or had an affinity with him artistically: Hans Baldung Grien, Hans Schufelin, 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 Amerbachs 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 Basels Kupferstichkabinett
