abstract: "Bearing in mind the increased number of publications about the remarkable printmakers of the German Renaissance over the last forty years or so, this revised catalogue of the engravings and etchings of Sebald Beham is long overdue. It follows the publication in 2021 of the New Hollstein catalogue of prints by Sebald’s younger brother, Barthel Beham, who Sebald outlived by ten years, and whose plates Sebald inherited and made good use of in his highly successful career as a printmaker.

The present publication has benefitted, as with the preceding volume on Barthel Beham, from the diligent research and critical expertise of Anne Röver-Kann. She has updated attributions based on research published since Hollstein, added a list of forty-three rejected prints, and noted the difficulty in locating certain prints recorded by Pauli, which partly relates to the upheaval of two World wars and subsequent re- arrangement of collections in state institutions across Germany and eastern Europe. The new numbering has resulted in 275 engravings and etchings arranged over two volumes, as opposed to 270 recorded by Pauli in 1901; further volumes covering Beham’s larger number of woodcuts are forthcoming. Röver-Kann’s extensive research has greatly increased the listings of institutions holding Beham’s prints, which adds to our understanding of the significance of German 16th century printmakers beyond Dürer in the establishment of national print collections world-wide. The most important contribution of all New Hollstein volumes, is the quantity and high quality of illustrations, which not onl…
