Mit dem Erwerb des gesamten altdeutschen Gemäldebestandes der ehemals Fürstlich Fürstenbergischen Sammlungen Donaueschingen, einer der bedeutendsten und erlesensten privaten Sammlungen spätmittelalterlicher Kunst, hat die Sammlung Würth einen neuen Schwerpunkt erhalten. Neben bekannten Meistern der oberrheinischen Malerei des 15. und 16. Jahrhunderts, darunter Hans Holbein d. Ä., dem Meister von Meßkirch, Lucas Cranach d. Ä und d. J., Bernhard Striegel oder Hans Schäufelin gehören auch weniger bekannte Künstler, die in ihrer Kunstfertigkeit und Bedeutung den prominenten Künstlern jedoch keinesfalls nachstehen, dem Gemäldekonvolut an. Es ist die Epoche des religiösen und kulturellen Umbruchs, in der neben frommen Beweggründen die Konkurrenz zwischen verschiedenen Familien und Gruppen der Städte zu einer Vielzahl von Kunstaufträgen führten. Das historische Umfeld im Hinblick auf die Folgen zu beleuchten, die sich an der Umgestaltung überlieferter Themen ablesen lassen ist ebenso Teil der vorliegenden Publikation, wie die bislang umfassendste ikonographische Sichtung der Malerei, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, die Inhalte der Darstellungen und deren Bedeutung nachvollziehbar werden zu lassen. Für dieses Unterfangen konnten mit Dietmar Lüdke und Kurt Löcher zwei der besten Kenner spätmittelalterlicher deutscher Malerei und Malerei der frühen Neuzeit gewonnen werden. Zusätzliche Beiträge von Christoph Graf Douglas zur Genese der Sammlung sowie von Beate Elsen-Schwedler zum kulturhistorischen Hintergrund dieses beutenden Abschnitts europäischer Geschichte runden den Band ab.

Master Paintings in North America reveals the astonishing variety and quality of North American collections, the results of over one hundred years of inspired collecting by individual collectors and public institutions. It may be no surprise that the Metropolitan Museum and the Frick Collection in New York and the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. have a large number of El Grecos, for example. But how many of us are aware that works by El Greco can also be found in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California; Sarasota, Florida; Glen Falls, New York; and in Ottawa and Montreal? The only guide of its kind,Master Paintings in North America provides a complete and fully captioned listing of every painting in U.S. and Canadian collections by fifty selected old master painters-from the early Renaissance to the mid-nineteenth century. This volume also contains a valuable geographical index which provides vital museum-going information: addresses, hours, and admission fees, as well as listing of other important painters represented in the museums. In addition to helping the reader locate these masterpieces,Master Painting in North America also provides the means for more fully enjoying these great treasures. The author, Mr. John Morse-a noted art historian and critic-provides brief biographical entries for each of the fifty painters, and longer essays analyzing the significance of their work. The book is lavishly illustrated with large full-page color plates as well as over one hundred black-and-white illustrations. This book is not only for the tourist, but also for the armchair traveler who can also enjoy the wonderful treasures in North America's museums. Master Paintings in North America is a beautiful addition to anyone's art-book library, and an indispensable companion for the art-living traveler, for the student and scholar.

As a result of the Napoleonic wars, vast numbers of Old Master paintings were released on to the market from public and private collections across continental Europe. The knock-on effect was the growth of the market for Old Masters from the 1790s up to the early 1930s, when the Great Depression put an end to its expansion. This book explores the global movement of Old Master paintings and investigates some of the changes in the art market that took place as a result of this new interest. Arguably, the most important phenomenon was the diminishing of the traditional figure of the art agent and the rise of more visible, increasingly professional, dealerships; firms such as Colnaghi and Agnew's in Britain, Goupil in France and Knoedler in the USA, came into existence. Old Masters Worldwide explores the ways in which the pioneering practices of such businesses contributed to shape a changing market.

Excerpt from Collection of Paintings by Old Masters of All Schools: Season 1912-1913 Intense Vitality - love for Life - ethically creates love for everything artistic. The one who loves Life loves Art, as the sublime expres sion of ever-pulsating human feeling. Two Elements invisible and inexplainable as Elec tricity, form Life, Emotion and Feeling, and in Art combined to these two, Quality and Individuality. It is difficult to say what is meant by Quality, the nearest explanation is Culture and Tradition. A masterpiece is only the one which with irresistible force influences our Imagination and mystically creates in us Emotion. The Primitive Painters were the Children of Byzantine Art and found the earliest and most glorious expression in the fire and fervor of Giotto. The Quatro Centro gave us Botticelli, whose Art resembled the perfume filled early Spring prefacing the glorious Summer of Italian Art, with its great creative Masters and its immortal Art of the Christian Era. High Renaissance Art, the next Evolution, gave us Raphael, Michaelangelo and the great Colorists Titian. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
