From the paintings of Johann Heinrich Schönfeld in Augsburg’s Deutsche Barockgalerie
Swart’s woodcut of Christ preaching from a boat (mentioned in Mander’s Schilder-boeck) is quite remarkable, and full of wonderful detail. I particularly like the dog, a clever visual foil to the crowd of attentive listeners.
I had the pleasure yesterday of seeing these two works, once the outside panels of the wings of a Dürer altarpiece, in the same afternoon.
The HAUM is probably my favorite museum in Germany. A pleasant, relaxed atmosphere, none of the humiliating security measures that ruin other museums, and a great collection. And the BM painting (here, more details), which never ceases to amaze me.

Can’t recommend the François I and Netherlandish Art exhibition at the Louvre enough. I particularly enjoyed how it looks beyond Paris to the various paths of diffusion of Netherlandish art in France
