This volume explores the artist's earliest period of work and presents all the paintings he produced during this time. The expressiveness of these early paintings differs radically from the courtly elegance of the compositions he later produced as a court painter in Wittenberg. These brilliant paintings, drawings, and woodcuts document both the thirty-year-old's close contacts with the humanist circles of Konrad Celtis and Johannes Cuspinian and identify him as a precursor of the so-called Danube School.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuido Messling\u003c\/b\u003e is curator for German painting at the Picture Gallery of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna. \u003cb\u003eKerstin Richter\u003c\/b\u003e is director of the Oskar Reinhart Collection \"Am Römerholz\" in Winterthur, Switzerland.
