Masters of the German Renaissance - National Gallery

Swabian,  Portrait of a Woman of the Hofer Family, c 1470

Strange Beauty: Masters of the German Renaissance is at The National Gallery until 11 May 2014.
What fabulous paintings these are and what an amazing collection the National Gallery has. It does, however seem a little cheeky that the National Gallery is charging £7.00 for visitors to see a show which includes so many masterpieces which it normally shows for free!
Still, you can't have too much Holbein, Cranach and Dürer!
