Leipzig Book Fair
With the fifth volume of the Handbook of the History of Art in East Central Europe, the GWZO continues its large-scale publication project. This volume focuses on the period from around 1570 to 1670 — a time of profound political, religious and artistic change in East Central Europe. At its core are processes of exchange and transformation as manifested in the architecture, painting, visual arts and decorative arts of the period: between Renaissance and Baroque, between Reformation and Counter-Reformation, and between urban centres, aristocratic residences and religious institutions.
Series editor Wilfried Franzen (GWZO) in conversation with the volume editors Agnieszka Gąsior (Silesian Museum in Görlitz) and Marius Winzeler (Green Vault and Armoury, Dresden State Art Collections).
