Late Gothic by Staatliche Museen Berlin

Late Gothic by Staatliche Museen Berlin

Hardly any other epoch in art history has been marked by as many profound changes as the Late Gothic was in the fifteenth century. Inspired by Netherlandish role models, depictions of light and shadow, body and space, became increasingly more realistic. Everyday life found entry into the arts. With the invention of printing, images and texts were distributed to an extent previously unheard of. Artists such as Nicolaus Gerhaert and Martin Schongauer became widely known and influenced the development of the visual arts throughout Europe and across all genres. Featuring a wide selection of works, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin present the first extensive exhibition of Late Gothic art in the German-speaking regions. Its comparison and contrast of the various genres turns the catalogue into a handbook for the arts at the threshold of the modern era.

Julien Chapuis has been the deputy director of the Bode-Museum (Sculpture Collection and Museum of Byzantine Art) - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin since 2008. From 1997 to 2007 he was a curator of medieval art at the Metropolitan Museum, New York, during which time he organized an exhibition on the German sculptor Tilman Riemenschneider.
Stephan Kemperdick is a curator of early Netherlandish and early German painting at the Gemäldegalerie, Staatliche Museen, Berlin.
