In the first part of the Art of Germany series, Andrew Graham-Dixon looks at the diverse art of the middle ages and the Renaissance.

Looking at such masterpieces as Cologne Cathedral, the Isenheim altarpiece and the Battle of Issus, Andrew Graham-Dixon explores the thrilling diversity of German art in this period.
