His paintings, drawings, and etchings appeared almost without warning and mysteriously disappeared from view just as suddenly. In \u003ci\u003eAlbrecht Altdorfer and the Origins of Landscape\u003c\/i\u003e, Christopher S. Wood shows how Altdorfer transformed what had been the mere setting for sacred and historical figures into a principal venue for stylish draftsmanship and idiosyncratic painterly effects. At the same time, his landscapes offered a densely textured interpretation of that quintessentially German locus--the forest interior. This revised and expanded second edition contains a new introduction, revised bibliography, and fifteen additional illustrations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher S.
