The Northern Renaissance
From Dürer to Holbein
Kate Heard & Lucy Whitaker
Encompassing portraiture, religion, mythology
and allegory, these works are examined
alongside others by such masters as Francois
Clouet, Jan Gossaert and Joos van Cleve.
Holbein's superlative drawings of members of the
court of King Henry VIII can be seen side-by-side
with finished paintings and miniatures of the
same sitters; and this rich survey also includes
illuminated manuscripts and early printed books.

Endlessly diverse, surprising and touching, this is

book-lovers alike. It shows how the content of
bookplates has evolved over the years to feature
a vast range of allegory and symbolism often
incorporating a pun on the owners name uniquely
relevant to that individual.
