The Rhine is Europe's most important river historically, culturally and artistically. It is both a boundary between nations and a unifying force, conveying spiritual currents as well as merchandise, and inspiring pilgrims, painters, sculptors, architects, poets, writers and composers. This superb panorama of the Rhine's artistic landscape shows the river and the cities, villages and monuments that abound along its course. Cathedrals, monasteries and castles, as well as world-renowned masterpieces of painting (such as Grünewald's Isenheim altar), sculpture (the Breisach carved altar) and goldsmith's work (the shrine of the Three Magi in Cologne), are shown alongside an astonishing diversity of treasures in every field of art, all gloriously illustrated and knowledgeably described in detail in their historical, art-historical and geographical context.
