Durer's Lost Masterpiece tracks the history of a turning point in the career of the celebrated German artist Albrecht Durer (1471-1528), when he stopped painting altarpieces after arguing with a merchant patron over payment. As an eloquent homage to Durers life, it brings us closer to the creation and meaning of his paintings than ever before. Durer's Lost Masterpiece considers the celebrated German artist Albrecht Durer (1471-1528), his time and his legacy. It tracks the history of a crucial, and often overlooked, turning point in his career, when Durer stopped painting altarpieces after falling out with the Frankfurt merchant Jacob Heller over a commission. The story of this painting, as Durers lost masterpiece, functions as a lens through which to view the new relationship developing between art, collecting and commerce in Europe up to the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) when global trade and cultural exchanges were increasing. At the heart of the book is the argument that merchants, and their mentalities, were crucial for the making of Renaissance art and its legacy for modern art. The book draws on a decade of research, and uniquely draws the reader into the rich emotional worlds of three merchants each of whom typified the evolving relationship between art and commerce in that entrepreneurial, and often ruthless, age. It brings to life Durers determined fight for creative makers to be adequately paid and explores the big questions about how European societies came to value the arts and crafts that remain relevant to our time.

Durer's Lost Masterpiece Bewertungen

Ulinka Rublack's new book successfully combines a close reading of the sources for the life and work of Albrecht Durer with a wide-ranging account of art as a luxury commodity at a time when the trade in luxuries was going global. * Peter Burke, Emmanuel College Cambridge *
Ulinka Rublack masterfully recontextualizes Albrecht Durer's lost Heller Altarpiece, it production, and its fate. Yet her fascinating account is equally about German material culture, the rise of artistic advisors and agents, notably Hans Fugger and Philipp Hainhofer, the emerging global marketplace, and discerning collectors in Bavaria and England. Rublack recenters German creativity and tastes within the broader movement of art, ideas, and individuals across Europe. * Jeffrey Chipps Smith, Kay Fortson Chair in European Art and Professor, University of Texas, Austin *
A stunning achievement by a historian at the pinnacle of her craft-at once a sensitive portrait of Durer's emotional life that allows us to understand as a whole his desire to show what he could do with and for art at a time of transformative change and conflict in German society, and a vivid depiction of the merchants and nobles locked in fateful embrace who fueled the burgeoning world of global commerce, awash in material things and exotica, and who made Durer who he was both in his day and in ours. Quite simply a tour de force. * Pamela H. Smith, Columbia University *
