This book analyzes the life and career of German painter and history professor Alfred Rethel, widely regarded as a pioneer of German national history painting, and whose work profoundly influenced the course of 19th-century German art. An extensive study of Rethel's work and philosophy, this book analyzes his emergence within the Nazarene movement, his influences and his influences on others. At the heart of this biography is an examination of historical context, the author demonstrating how the political and social upheaval of the time is reflected in Rethel's work, particularly in his famous series of woodcuts Dance of Death. This detailed and comprehensive analysis of one of the most important German artists of the 19th century will appeal to art historians, students and general readers alike.
