Meer over het boek

Volume 3 of the Kunstkammer Edition series describes three alabaster reliefs from the early work of Leonhard Kern, made between 1614 and 1620. 00In her essay, Dr. Virginie Spenlé has researched the early years of Leonhard Kern?s artistic career, as well as classified and discussed the reliefs. The artistic abilities of Leonhard Kern have their origin in his early travels, which took him as far as Northern Africa. During his stay in Italy, he had the opportunity to get to know the works of Giambologna, and back in Germany, he began his career as sculptor with this 'artistic advantage', which would eventually make him a sought-after and treasured artist even during his lifetime. 0
