A Yankee Book Peddler US Core Title for 2013

'... thoroughly researched, well organized, and performs an important function in incorporating information from the latest publications, as well as from earlier ones by Czech and Polish scholars difficult of access. Bubenik relates the whole to modern reception theory in convincing fashion.' Jane Campbell Hutchison, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Emerita

'... begins with a rehearsal of D rer's historiography, and then reviews the artists, images, and collectors who responded to D rer in the period immediately following his death. The strength of the book is its codification of D rer's reception.' Renaissance Quarterly

'... this book demonstrates the absolute relevance of contemporary reception theory in our understanding of the early modern, as well as the absolute relevance of D rer in contemporary debates on the role of the artist as a practitioner and as an authority, at the intersection between the production and reception of images and knowledge.' Parergon

'It is in regard to the collecting of D rer's art, its transference from site to site, and the control of its documentation by its owners that Andrea Bubenik's book makes an important contribution to the study of the reception of D rer's work.' CAA Reviews

'This book really engages with D rer's legacy, what the Germans call Rezeption, or the afterlife of his images, particularly around the turn of the seventeenth century. The author ... has immersed herself in the collecting of the great Nuremberg artist's work in the century-and-a-half following his death.' The Sixteenth Century Journal

'Bubenik's ambitious work is certainly a welcome addition in that it brings together numerous important sources and works of art, thus constituting a valuable starting point for any research on the subject.' Print Quarterly
