This title was first published in 2002: JArg Breu belonged to the
generation of German Renaissance artists that included DA1/4rer,
Cranach, GrA1/4newald, Altdorfer, and, in his own city of Augsburg,
Hans Burgkmair the Elder. His art registered the early reception of
Italian art in Germany and spanned the dramatic years of the
Reformation in Augsburg, when the city was riven with social and
religious tensions. Uniquely, for a German artist, Breu left a
diary chronicling his reaction to the massive social and cultural
forces that engulfed him, including his own conversion to the
Protestant cause. His story is representative of the condition of
many artists during the Reformation years living through this
watershed between two cultural eras, which witnessed the transfer
of creative energies from religious painting to secular and applied
forms of art. In this wide ranging and original study, Andrew
Morrall examines the effect of these events on the nature and
practice of JArg Breu's art and its reception, not just in his own
period, but right up to the present day.
