Abstract

During the nineteenth century, Albrecht Dürer's art, piety, and personal character were held up as models to inspire contemporary artists and-it was hoped-to return Germany to international artistic eminence. In this book, Jeffrey Chipps Smith explores Dürer's complex posthumous reception during the great century of museum building in Europe, with a particular focus on the artist's role as a creative and moral exemplar for German artists and museum visitors.In an era when museums were emerging as symbols of civic, regional, and national identity, dozens of new national, princely, and civic museums began to feature portraits of Dürer in their elaborate decorative programs embellishing the facades, grand staircases, galleries, and ceremonial spaces. Most of these arose in Germany and Austria, though examples can be seen as far away as St. Petersburg, Stockholm, London, and New York City. Probing the cultural, political, and educational aspirations and rivalries of these museums and their patrons, Smith traces how Dürer was painted, sculpted, and prominently placed to accommodate the era's diverse needs and aspirations. He investigates what these portraits can tell us about the rise of a distinct canon of famous Renaissance and Baroque artists-addressing the question of why Dürer was so often paired with Raphael, who was considered to embody the greatness of Italian art-and why, with the rise of German nationalism, Hans Holbein the Younger often replaced Raphael as Dürer's partner.Accessibly written and comprehensive in scope, this book sheds new light on museum building in the nineteenth century and the rise of art history as a discipline. It will appeal to specialists in nineteenth-century and early modern art, the history of museums and collecting, and art historiography.

Abstract

Albrecht Dürer est le troisième enfant d'Albrecht Dürer l'Ancien, orfèvre originaire de Hongrie et arrivé à Nüremberg en 1455. En 1486, il entre dans l'atelier de Michael Wolgemut et en devient l'apprenti. Après avoir effectué son tour de compagnon à travers la France et l'Allemagne, il séjourne à deux reprises à Venise, en 1494 puis en 1505. Ce séjour le marque profondément. On lui fait alors la commande d'un retable pour l'autel de Notre-Dame, dans l'église nationale de la colonie allemande à San Bartolommeo. En 1512, il reçoit une pension de l'empereur Maximilien de Habsbourg avec titres de

Abstract

In 1591, Giovanni Paolo Gallucci published his Della simmetria dei corpi humani, an Italian translation of Albrecht Dürer's Four Books on Human Proportion. While Dürer's treatise had been translated earlier in the sixteenth-century into French and Latin, it was Gallucci's Italian translation that endured in popularity as the most cited version of the text in later Baroque treatises, covering topics that were seen as central to arts education, connoisseurship, patronage, and the wider appreciation of the studia humanitatis in general. The text centres on the relationships between beauty and proportion, macrocosm and microcosm: relationships that were not only essential to the visual arts in the early modern era, but that cut across a range of disciplines - music, physiognomics and humoral readings, astronomy, astrology and cosmology, theology and philosophy, even mnemonics and poetry. In his version of the text, Gallucci expanded the educational potential of the treatise by adding a Preface, a Life of Dürer, and a Fifth Book providing a philosophical framework within which to interpret Dürer's previous sections. This translation is the first to make these original contributions by Gallucci accessible to an English-speaking audience. Gallucci's contributions illuminate the significance of symmetry and proportion in the contemporary education of the early modern era, informing our understanding of the intellectual history of this period, and the development of art theory and criticism. This is a valuable resource to early modern scholars and students alike, especially those specialising in history of art, philosophy, history of science, and poetry.

Abstract

Der Band analysiert erstmals die Farbgrundzeichnung von ihren Anfängen nördlich der Alpen bis Albrecht Dürer und beleuchtet ihre Funktionen, Materialästhetik und Medienreflektion im Wandel künstlerischer Anforderungen. Die im 15. Jahrhundert zunehmende Bedeutung der Handzeichnung zeigt sich auch in zahlreichen erhaltenen Farbgrundzeichnungen. Helle und dunkle Zeichenmittel auf farbigen Fonds stellen Materialität in ihrem illusionistischen Potenzial eindrucksvoll heraus. Die Abstraktion von Buntwerten erprobt neue Seherfahrungen, so dass die Technik prädestiniert für Aushandlungsprozesse neuzeitlicher Darstellungsweisen erscheint. Die Nachfrage einer kunstinteressierten Klientel führte zu verschiedenen Popularisierungsverfahren. Mit Blick auf subtile Variationen gelingt eine wissenskulturelle Positionierung der Handzeichnung in neuem Licht.

Abstract

Art historians have long looked to letters to secure biographical details; clarify relationships between artists and patrons; and present artists as modern, self-aware individuals. This book takes a novel approach: focusing on Albrecht Dürer, Shira Brisman is the first to argue that the experience of writing, sending, and receiving letters shaped how he treated the work of art as an agent for communication. In the early modern period, before the establishment of a reliable postal system, letters faced risks of interception and delay. During the Reformation, the printing press threatened to expose intimate exchanges and blur the line between public and private life. Exploring the complex travel patterns of sixteenth-century missives, Brisman explains how these issues of sending and receiving informed Dürer's artistic practices. His success, she contends, was due in large part to his development of pictorial strategies-an epistolary mode of address-marked by a direct, intimate appeal to the viewer, an appeal that also acknowledged the distance and delay that defers the message before it can reach its recipient. As images, often in the form of prints, coursed through an open market, and artists lost direct control over the sale and reception of their work, Germany's chief printmaker navigated the new terrain by creating in his images a balance between legibility and concealment, intimacy and public address.

Abstract

Gerade in Zeiten von Schulschließungen und Distanzunterricht infolge der Corona-Pandemie wird die Bedeutung der Eltern für den schulischen Erfolg ihrer Kinder deutlich. Auch unabhängig davon zeigen Studien, dass der schulische Erfolg von Schülerinnen und Schülern in Deutschland mit familiären Hintergrundmerkmalen zusammenhängt: Kinder und Jugendliche aus Familien mit niedrigem sozioökonomischen Status oder mit einem Migrationshintergrund gelten im Bildungskontext tendenziell als benachteiligt. Inwiefern Eltern durch ihre Beteiligung an schulischen Prozessen die schulische Leistung und die Motivation ihrer Kinder fördern können, ist Thema dieser Broschüre. Dabei werden sowohl Schülerinnen und Schüler aus benachteiligten als auch aus nicht benachteiligten Familien in den Blick genommen. Zunächst werden umfassende Hintergrundinformationen zur Bedeutung von Elternbeteiligung im schulischen Kontext gegeben. Anschließend werden aktuelle Forschungserkenntnisse zum Thema sowie praxisnahe Anregungen für Schulleitungen und Lehrkräfte dargeboten, die die elterliche Beteiligung im schulischen Kontext stärken möchten. Diese Publikation richtet sich damit an Bildungspraktikerinnen und -praktiker, politische Entscheidungsträgerinnen und Entscheidungsträger und an alle Personen, die sich für den Themenbereich der Elternbeteiligung im schulischen Kontext interessieren.
