Advanced Member L'Ancien Regime Posted May 1, 2017 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I bought this book over 20 years ago. I highly recommend it. https://www.amazon.com/Limewood-Sculptors-Renaissance-Germany/dp/0300028296 If Nikolaus Gerhaert (circa 1420 – 1473) lived in Italy, we would probably know everything there was to know about him, and monuments to Gerhaert would grace major cities’ piazzas. But as he was born in Leiden and seems to have spent his career in various Germanic lands, all we have are his works, few and far between as they are. The best of these, like the presumed Self-Portrait of circa 1467, make one think of his older contemporary Donatello’s sensibility — and skill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
