This catalogue contains entries on fifteenth- and sixteenth- (and one
seventeenth-) century German (and Austrian) paintings in the National
Gallery of Art, Washington DC, both German and Austrian. Entries are
arranged alphabetically by artist and there is a short biography and
bibliography for each artist. Individual entries follow the model
established by earlier systematic catalogues and full scholarly and
technical information is provided for each painting. Questions of
attribution, iconography, and social and religious function and context
are discussed and, where relevant, comparative examples, reconstructions
of altarpieces, x-radiography and infra-red reflectogram assemblies are
included. The catalogue also contains the results of
dendrochronological examinations of the paintings.
