Peintures Germaniques Des Collections Françaises, 1370-1550

Exhibition from 4 May to 23 September 2024 in three parts:
Maîtres et merveilles at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Dijon (late Middle Ages) ;
Made in Germany at the Musée des Beaux-Arts et d'Archéologie in Besançon (Renaissance paintings);
Couleur, gloire et beauté at the Musée Unterlinden in Colmar (works from the Upper Rhine during these two periods).

Paintings produced in the Holy Roman Empire between the end of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance make up a collection of over five hundred works in French collections.

This book, published to coincide with the three-part exhibition in Dijon, Besançon and Colmar, presents a unique selection of these paintings, following a pictorial, chronological and museographical itinerary. The specialists assembled in this book propose new attributions or restore the identity of anonymous artists, while offering an itinerary starting with Master Bertram and ending with Albrecht Dürer, via Martin Schongauer and Lucas Cranach. This volume is a reference tool on German painting from 1370 to 1550.
