In Hungary the collection of these highly appreciated pictures, which used to be regarded as uncouth and primitive, was started at the beginning of the past century. János Végh's book is the first to give a summary account of this exceedingly valuable material. Relying on the panels of Hungárián collections the author describes the development of Germán and Bohemian Gothic painting. He presents numerous excellent works, ranging from the delightful Soft-Style picture of the Master of the Vienna Adoration to the crude realism of Friedrich Pacher. This period of rich flowering, embracing a century of Germán Gothic painting, terminates, alsó symbolically, by the splendid work of Hans Holbein the Elder, Death of the Virgin. Vissza
