The German Renaissance, which was part of the Northern Renaissance, was an artistic and cultural advancement that spread among German intellectuals during the 15th and 16th centuries. German humanism evolved at this time in various German states and principalities. Importantly Germany produced two crucial developments that were to dominate the 16th century all over Europe: printing and the Protestant Reformation. Perhaps the most influential artist of the 16th century from this country was Albrecht Dürer. He was known for his painting, printmaking and engraving, as was the artist Lucas Cranach the Elder. Cranach was the court painter to the Electors of Saxony. Their work along with the art of Hans Holbein, the Younger, Mathias Grunewald and members of the Danube School will be discussed in this docent-led talk. Timken Museum of Art on Facebook / Instagram

This year we have 24 vendors of hot collectibles and local comic creators sharing their original creations. So Cal Comics has an impressive guest list of local art talent, but the Tour de Force is the seminal arrangement to have over one million dollars worth of comic books on display in one glass case. Actual copies of Action Comics 1-10 will be on display, which is a great photo opp moment because of San Diego's comic heritage. "This is a great photo opp for the press," says Newbold. "These books are rarely seen in public for their scarcity." The event is family-friendly and will be held outdoors. Cosplay is encouraged! Visitors will be treated to a kaleidoscope of incredible collectibles, from comic books to Barbie dolls.
