Category:The art of the Danube school on stamps

The so-called Art of the Danube School is charactistical for the artworks created along the Danube valley in Bavaria, Bohemia, Austria and Romania in the second half of the 15th and first half of the 16th century. However, this term is mistakeable, because the artists of this "school" stood never in a relation as teacher and pupils to each other. Rather this "school" unifies a art movement with a complete new, until to there unknown feeling for the nature and her exchange interaction with the human as such. This, for instance, gave rise to graphics of pure natural sceneries without humans. A possible scenery with humans is mostly, if at all, embedded in a landscape not rarely accentuated especially by what this landscape becomes to the main topic and than also mostly with symbolic contents (for instance a cruzifixion with dark clouds, by what the entire painting become a dark effect). Locally and chronological was the "Art of the Danube School" limited to the area northern and eastern of the Alps and also there only along the Danube valley during the end time of the Moyen Age as transition to a new time. One can see in the Danube School a parallel development in central Europe to the Italian Renaissance (with Late Gothic elements).
