"It is usual when thinking of the painting of the Renaissance to concentrate on the great Italian masterpieces. But to think exclusively along those lines would be to exclude the very great, and to modern eyes very appealing, painting that was happening at the same time north of the Alps. . . Van der Weyden, Memling, Bosch, Dürer, Altdorfer, Lucas Cranach and Holbein are all here, reflecting the National Gallery's very high quality holdings of the paintings of those schools. And, because the volume covers the whole of the German holdings, there are modern works like Klimt's sumptuous portrait of Hermine Gallia too." -- Page 7, 8.
