Die R\u00fcckbesinnung auf die antiken Philosophen und die intensive Auseinandersetzung des Menschen mit sich selbst, stellen das gesamte Weltbild infrage. Kopernikus r\u00fcckt die Sonne in die Mitte unseres Planetensystems, Columbus entdeckt Amerika, Gutenberg erfindet den Buchdruck und Martin Luther reformiert die Kirche.<\/p>\n
Die Suche nach Erkenntnis und Wahrheit hinterl\u00e4sst auch auf der Leinwand Spuren. In den Werkst\u00e4tten deutscher Maler wie Albrecht D\u00fcrer, Lucas Cranach oder Hans Baldung entstehen neue Techniken f\u00fcr eine naturgetreue Darstellung ihrer Motive. Realistische Portr\u00e4ts, naturgetreue Proportionen und die Zentralperspektive kennzeichnen die Werke der deutschen Renaissance.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=“https:\/\/www.mse-kunsthalle.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/wb-malt-cranach-gross.jpg“ alt=“Beltracchi arbeitet am Gem\u00e4lde“ title_text=“Beltracchi arbeitet am Gem\u00e4lde“ align=“center“ _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_margin=“||1px|||“ custom_padding=“||41px|||“][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ text_font=“Open Sans||on||||||“ text_text_color=“#666666″ text_line_height=“1.1em“ custom_margin=“0px||100px||false|false“ text_font_size_tablet=“14px“ text_font_size_phone=“14px“ text_font_size_last_edited=“on|phone“]Wolfgang Beltracchi in his studio in Montpellier, March 2017.

Wolfgang Beltracchi shows how it could have looked. The \u201cspeed painter\u201d<\/span>\u00a0Cranach developed a highly efficient process. For fields and forests he used a dark prime coat and created form-shaping contours with a maximum of one to three colors. Flesh was primed with a very light color, painted over with skin tones and then modeled with lights and shadows. Use of various brushes, applied using dabs or strokes, helped him portray different types of surfaces. Cranach normally started from the center of the picture, working his way to the periphery, and his final step was to apply lights and shadows to faces. He usually completed his more elaborate-looking paintings in only a few weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ text_orientation=“left“ text_font_size_tablet=“14px“ text_font_size_phone=““ text_font_size_last_edited=“on|tablet“ header_3_font_size_tablet=“22px“ header_3_font_size_phone=“18px“ header_3_font_size_last_edited=“on|tablet“]<\/p>\n \u201cHelp me, Saint Anne, and I will become a Monk.\u201c Wolfgang Beltracchi is painting the moment when Luther cried out, using the artistic voice of Cranach. Saint Anne appears often in Cranach\u2019s work, so Beltracchi has clear references for her portrayal: among them the red coat symbolizing protection, and her headscarf, which resembles that of a nun. Cranach never painted Luther as a student, however. In this case, the artist is referencing other works from the era.

Additionally, Hans Balding and the Danube School influenced German painting in the 15th and 16th centuries.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n True-to-life portrayal of people was central to German Renaissance painting. Nothing is glossed over: sagging breasts, idiotic expressions, sallow skin. What mattered most was adhering to reality.<\/span><\/p>\n In his relentless pursuit of the most realistic portrayal possible, Albrecht D\u00fcrer set new standards for the proportionality of forms. In his main written work about proportion theory \u201cFour Books on Human Proportion\u201d he presents his naturalistic, systematical studies of the human body. Published using the relatively new printing press method, they quickly spread throughout the European art scene.<\/span><\/p>\n The German Renaissance was still very rooted in symbolism, as was common in the Gothic period. A cloak stands for protection, cloves for the Passion of Christ, fruit for overcoming the original sin, squirrels and foxes, as companions of the Devil, for evil \u2013 the list of the symbols used goes on and on.<\/span><\/p>\n Use of the vanishing point for perspective was widespread during the German Renaissance. Introduced by Dutch and Italian painters, it was soon commonly used by artists throughout Germany.<\/span><\/p>\n Renaissance painters are quite productive. D\u00fcrer alone created around 90 paintings, 100 engravings, 300 woodcuts and 400 book illustrations. Lucas Cranach the Elder was unbeatable during his time; around 5,000 works were produced in his studio \u2013 with the help of apprentices, who used an easily acquired dabbing technique, thus leaving no traces of their own styles behind.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=“1″ _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ background_color=“#242424″][et_pb_row _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_padding=“||0px|||“][et_pb_column type=“4_4″ _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ header_3_text_color=“#ffffff“ text_orientation=“left“ custom_margin=“||-2px||false|false“ custom_padding=“||0px|||“ text_font_size_tablet=“14px“ text_font_size_phone=““ text_font_size_last_edited=“on|tablet“ header_3_font_size_tablet=“22px“ header_3_font_size_phone=“18px“ header_3_font_size_last_edited=“on|tablet“]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=“1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ custom_padding=“||0px|||“][et_pb_column type=“1_2″ _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ header_3_text_color=“#ffffff“ text_orientation=“left“ custom_margin=“||-2px||false|false“ custom_padding=“||0px|||“ text_font_size_tablet=“14px“ text_font_size_phone=““ text_font_size_last_edited=“on|tablet“ header_3_font_size_tablet=“22px“ header_3_font_size_phone=“18px“ header_3_font_size_last_edited=“on|tablet“] Roman art<\/a><\/p>\n Byzantine icon painting<\/a><\/p>\n Medieval art<\/p>\n Early Netherlandish painting<\/p>\n Italian Renaissance<\/p>\n German Renaissance<\/a><\/p>\n Mannerism<\/p>\n Early Baroque<\/p>\n Little Ice Age<\/a><\/p>\n Dutch Golden Age<\/a><\/p>\n Rokoko<\/p>\n German Romanticism<\/a> <\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=“1_2″ _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“][et_pb_text _builder_version=“4.7.3″ _module_preset=“default“ header_3_text_color=“#ffffff“ text_orientation=“left“ custom_margin=“||-2px||false|false“ custom_padding=“||0px|||“ text_font_size_tablet=“14px“ text_font_size_phone=““ text_font_size_last_edited=“on|tablet“ header_3_font_size_tablet=“22px“ header_3_font_size_phone=“18px“ header_3_font_size_last_edited=“on|tablet“]English Romanticism<\/a><\/p>\n Impressionism<\/p>\n Post-Impressionism<\/p>\n Symbolism<\/p>\n Art Nouveau<\/a><\/p>\n Futurism<\/p>\n Expressionism<\/a><\/p>\n Avant-garde<\/a><\/p>\n New Objectivity<\/p>\n Surrealism<\/p>\nFast, faster, Cranach<\/h3>\n
