Reviews
A capacious introduction to the beginnings of self-portraiture in European art and an awesome study of two artists, a master and a disciple, struggling to express what it is to be an artist. There's a great chapter here about Cranach and the art for the Protestant cause, but mainly it is Koerner's analysis of Dürer's iconic self-portrait, and the strange, demonic and macabre images by his less known follower, Hans Baldung Grien, that this book will be remembered for.
