Sturz in Die Welt - Die Kunst Des Manierismus in Europa (German, Hardcover)

Mannerism is the first art movement that is considered to have simultaneously captured all of Europe. In the 16th century, artists in Florence, Prague, Antwerp and Madrid no longer depicted the idealized harmony of humans and the world, but started to mirror the changes and upheavals of their time with loud colors, exaggerated constructions of space, and skewed perspectives. This volume presents 120 Mannerist works of art from the Szepmuveszeti Muzeum in Budapest, including paintings by Jacopo Tintoretto, Agnolo Bronzino, Giorgio Vasari, El Greco, Jan Brueghel the Elder, and Hans von Aachen.
