In the early sixteenth century, Albrecht Altdorfer promoted
landscape from its traditional role as background to its new place
as the focal point of a picture. His paintings, drawings, and
etchings appeared almost without warning and mysteriously
disappeared from view just as suddenly. In "Albrecht Altdorfer and
the Origins of Landscape," Christopher S. Wood shows how Altdorfer
transformed what had been the mere setting for sacred and
historical figures into a principal venue for stylish draftsmanship
and idiosyncratic painterly effects. At the same time, his
landscapes offered a densely textured interpretation of that
quintessentially German locus--the forest interior. This revised
and expanded second edition contains a new introduction, revised
bibliography, and fifteen additional illustrations.
