Indeed, this subtle analysis of word and image in Reformation-era German art does truly center on, and thoughtfully elucidates, the major printed biblical art by these principal masters. Price, already the author ofÂAlbrecht D"urer's Renaissance, has now added Lucas Cranach and Hans Holbein to his repertoire in this book, which will become a touchstone for both scholars and laity alike.
David H. Price is Professor of Jewish Studies, Religious Studies, History, and Art History at Vanderbilt University, where he specializes in early modern European history. He has written extensively on a broad range of topics, including Renaissance visual art, early modern literature, the Bible in the Reformation era, Christian-Jewish relations, and the history of books and printing.
He is also the author of Johannes Reuchlin and the Campaign to Destroy Jewish Books.
