The image displays a page from a book, which appears to be discussing the history of art in Germany, focusing on the Mannerist and Baroque periods.

The first section, titled "The Influence of the Mannerist Style in Germany in the Early Seventeenth Century," describes how the Mannerist style had a brief revival in the eighteenth century. It mentions the work "The Famous Reclining Nymph (c. 1739)" by Georg Raphael Donner, which exhibits characteristics such as attenuated proportions and small breasts, typical of late sixteenth-century artists like Giovanni Bologna or Adriaen de Vries. The text also notes that the marble statue of Judith with the Head of Holofernes, created around 1745 by an unknown Wurzburg sculptor, shares these characteristics, and that the concept of Judith was derived from a design by the Dutch Mannerist, Hendrick Goltzius.

The second section, titled "The High Baroque (1680-1730)," explains how German Baroque art was deeply influenced by the art of Italy and the Netherlands, with cities like Rome and Antwerp being important artistic centers from about 1625 to 1675. It highlights Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680) as a guiding genius in the development of Baroque sculpture, with his fluid surfaces and emotionally expressive figures. The text also mentions that the sculpture of all of Europe was profoundly influenced by Bernini, and that artists like Giovanni Bologna and his pupil, Artus Quellinus, carried his style to Antwerp.

The text further emphasizes the significant influence of the Antwerp painter, Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), on German and Austrian Baroque carvings. It notes that sculptors of Central Europe became familiar with Rubens' compositions through the engravings of his pupils. The text also mentions that Bolswert's engraving after Rubens' painting of the Return of the Holy Family from Egypt inspired Guggenbichler's altarpiece, and that Rubens' design for the decoration of the ceiling of the Jesuit Church in Antwerp is reflected in Holzinger's ivory carving of the same subject. The text concludes by suggesting that an engraving after Rubens by his pupil, Stock, could have served as the intermediary.
