E. Huth's collec- tion, of Hubert Morett at Dresden. His engravings have not the intellectual depth of Diirer' ,s, but they charm by their wit and fertility of invention. Holbein's influence was far-reaching, extending into Holland and France. One of his imitators at Augsburg, Amberger, was a vigorous and pene- trating portrait-painter (Fig. 411). Lucas Cranach (1472-1553), the founder of the Saxon School, was a very different personality. Although he was the intimate friend of the Elector of S...axony, and familiar with Luther and Melancthon, whose por- traits he painted, he is neither thoughtful nor subtle. The basis of his art is German rusticity, a rusticity with a veneer of literature and mythology, and a superficial ele- gance, such as might be acquired by a fiarvenu sprung from the peasantry. His science, which manifests itself in his fine portraits, seems rather thin in quality, especially as he produced very rapidly, and also signed many pictures painted by his pupils with his monogram, the dragon.
