The Northern Renaissance in Europe was a period of rapid social and religious change. This book discusses works by Albrecht Dürer and Hans Holbein--two of the greatest masters of the northern Renaissance--together with a selection of paintings by Lucas Cranach. 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 survey also includes illuminated manuscripts and early printed books. Exhibition: Queen's Gallery, The Palace of Holyroodhouse (April 2011) and at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace (October 2012).

The Northern Renaissance was a period of rapid social, artistic and religious change. Increased cultural exchanges with Italy, the rise of humanism – aided by the growing presence of the printed book – and increasing challenges to the power of the Catholic Church are all reflected in the art of the period. This book discusses works by Albrecht Dürer and Hans Holbein the Younger – two of the greatest masters of the Northern Renaissance – together with paintings by many of their contemporaries, among them Lucas Cranach the Elder. The works examined encompass portraiture, religion and mythology, and were made by artists in the Netherlands, France, the Holy Roman Empire and England. The importance of the Royal Collection’s group of works by Hans Holbein in particular is celebrated, with his superlative drawings of members of the court of Henry VIII set alongside finished paintings of the same sitters. This rich survey also includes contemporary illuminated manuscripts and early printed books.

Rembrandt's Light brings together paintings, etchings and drawings that focus on Rembrandt's mastery of visual storytelling through light, concentrating on the period from 1639-58, when he lived in his 'dream house' on the Breestraat in the heart of Amsterdam (today the Rembrandt House Museum). The rooms on the first floor of the house, with their large windows and exceptional quality of light, offered new possibilities for the creation of art. Arranged thematically the book traces Rembrandt's innovation: from evoking a meditative mood, to lighting people, to creating impact and drama. Highlights include 'The Denial of St Peter', 'Pilgrims at Emmaus' and three of the artist's most famous images of women: 'A Woman Bathing in a Stream', 'A Woman in Bed' and 'Girl at a Window'. Published to coincide with an exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery, and the celebrations taking place throughout Europe to mark 350 years since the artist's death (1669), Rembrandt's Light aims to refresh the way we look at works by this incomparable Dutch Master.
