| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In his ‘Teutsche Academie’ (1675), Joachim von Sandrart disagreed with Giorgio Vasari’s opinion that engraving, etching and woodcut were invented by the Italians. Sandrart was a defender of German art, but before him some German writers from the 16th and the 17th centuries also referred to early engravers, such as Iarahel van Meckenem and the Monogrammists.
In this research I studied descriptions of early European prints in German literature. I investigated writings by Jacob Wimpheling, Johannes Butzbach , Johann Fischart, Matthias Quad, and Sandrart. In addition to their works, I also studied collection catalogues of Basilius Amerbach and Paul Beheim. Through this research we discover that Germans in those years were proud of graphic art as their own art.
