Lives of Adam Elsheimer

Although Adam Elsheimer (1578-1610) painted on an almost miniature scale and died very young, his paintings remain some of the most striking in the history of Western art. Elsheimer's recondite subject matter, astonishing ability to render night scenes, and uniquely lyrical use of landscape deeply affected generations of artists. Several key biographies of Elsheimer, along with the personal reminiscences of his friends and contemporary painters, compose this intriguing collection of essays and bring the artist's brief career and remarkable times to life.Baglione, Giovanni is the author of 'Lives of Adam Elsheimer' with ISBN 9781843680130 and ISBN 1843680130.
