ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Hans Holbein the Elder, Hans Burgkmair, and Hans Holbein the Younger share Albrecht Dürer’s reputation as pioneer of a new art: the painting of the Renaissance in the North. What had begun in Italy developed into something completely new in Northern Europe. Presenting some 130 works from the most important European collections, the exhibition provides an overview of the art of that epoch. Its special highlight is Hans Holbein the Younger’s Madonna of Mayor Jacob Meyer zum Hasen, a work that concentrates the artistic developments as in a burning glass and thus typifies the Renaissance in the North like no other painting.
