Books by Carel van Mander

Adam Elsheimer was born in Frankfurt in 1578. An early training in design workshops there saw him under the influence of Durer and Altdorfer. After a journey to Venice he settled in Rome, where he lived until his death in 1610, earning a reputation, though not the income, of the most important painters of his time. Claire Pace lectured for several years in art history at the University of Glasgow, where she is now Senior Honorary Research Fellow. She has published on aspects of 17th-century French and Italian art, especially Claude, Poussin and Bellori. The translations are by Keith Andrews, the foremost expert on Elsheimer until his death.
