Sound & Vision, Rotterdam, first edition, 2002. Cloth, 4to, 28 cm,. 275 pp, plates, ills. From the publisher's description: "Jost Amman originally came from Zurich, but spent most of his working life in Nuremberg. He left a huge oeuvre of etchings and woodcuts, which were mostly made after his own designs and which became extraordinarily influential. He produced a variety of single sheet prints. They include small-scale etchings probably intended as models for goldsmiths and peopled with figures or showing pure ornament and a considerable number of richly decorated coats of arms mostly used as book-plates by their owners, in addition to large etched portraits and a few broadsheets which he published himself. The biblical and historical scenes the size of large paintings and printed from up to fourteen blocks are especially remarkable among the single-leaf woodcuts. Further, Amman was one of the most prolific book illustrators of the second half of the sixteenth century. In this capacity, he worked chiefly for the Frankfurt publisher Sigmund Feyerabend, but also for other publishers in Frankfurt, Nuremberg and elsewhere. In this field he again created numerous portraits and coats of arms of authors and dedicatees, as well as lavish decorations and extensive sets of illustrations for editions of bibles, classical texts, costume books and many other works. For instance, he was commissioned to design a print of the map of lower Bavaria by Philipp Apian, a groundbreaking work of cartography, printed from twenty-five wood-blocks. The map was almost instantly copied and was reprinted for centuries thereafter. Amman also produced illustrations to books which were sold for the decorative images and were often reprinted several times. His representations of everyday life, such as his much admired series of craftsmen, the Ständebuch of 1568, to which Hans Sachs contributed the accompanying verses, are a most valuable contribution to our knowledge of the material culture of his time.

Description: "The papers in this volume constitute a substantial body of work that provides a wide-ranging overview of current research on the technology and practice of Old Master paintings, covering some 700 years of European painting, from the thirteenth century to the early twentieth century, including works by Guido da Siena, Bellini, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Fernando Gallego, Holbein, Caravaggio, El Greco, Rubens, Murillo, Gainsborough, Reynolds, Whistler, van Gogh and Munch. Six of the contributions focus on technological or historical aspects of specific artists' materials. These papers were presented at a conference held at the National Gallery to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the National Gallery Technical Bulletin. The Bulletin has a long history of publishing interdisciplinary research on the technical examination of paintings to inform both art-historical study and issues relating to the material history of a work. This type of research was the central focus of the conference and provided the overall thematic link between the contributions presented. Contains essays on the work of a wide range of artists, including Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Hans Holbein, Albrecht Altdofer, Caravaggio, Rubens, Thomas Gainsborough, Vincent Van Gogh, Edvard Munch, Christen Købke, Bartolomé Esteban Murillom and El Greco." ., Archetype Books, 2011<
