Dürer and the German painters. Here are shown Adam and Eve by Lukas Cranach, influenced by Dürer. On the right, by Cranach, Portrait of Martin Luther and his wife Catherine Bore and the large selfportrait. On the followings walls, portrait of Luther, of Melantone, and Johann I and Friedrich II, Electors of Saxony, also by Cranach, and the Portrait of Ferdinand of Castille by Hans Maler (16th century). By the great German painter and engraver Albrecht Dürer, who sojourned in Italy for a long time and felt the charm of the Venetians, we can admire a Madonna and Child, the Portrait of his Father (1490) and the celebrated Adoration of the Magi (1504). Evidence of his contact with Bellini (see next room) in the Repubkic of St. Mark, can be seen in his St. Philip Apostle and St. James Major, both fundamental for the completion of the range of his mature works.
Observe also the St. Domenic by the imaginative master and head of the Ferrarese and Eve, conserved in the Prado of Madrid. On the wall, panels with Stories of SS. Peter and Paul. Also, a lanscape by Hans Brueghel, on the back of which is a Calvary taken from Dürer's engravings. On the ceiling, notice the Signoria, St. MAria Novella, and St. Croce Squares (St. Croce church without it present façade).
