German Painting had its roots in Paris, the intellectual centre of Europe, and Italy. Hans Holbein the Elder, a Northern Renaissance Painter, (ca. 1465 - 1524) and his son Hans Holbein the Younger (1497 - 1543), created outstanding examples of German painting, but it was Albrecht Dürer (1471 – 1528), who became the founder of the German Renaissance. The course of German painting ran parallel to that of the Italian Renaissance. [1]

The Leipzig and Dresden Schools are among the latest generations of German painters.
