Danube school (sh) and wood warbler (sh)


Danube school (sh)




Tradition of German landscape painting and etching that developed in the Danube River valley between Regensburg and Vienna in the early 16th century.

The most important artists associated with the movement were Albrecht Altdorfer and Lucas Cranach the Elder; others included Wolf Huber (1485-1553) and J?rg Breu the Elder (1475/76-1537). They were among the pioneers in depicting landscape for its own sake, often in highly subjective, expressive Fashion.


wood warbler (sh)




Any of about 120 species of lively North and Central American songbirds in the family Parulidae.

Wood warblers superficially resemble the true warblers of the Old World but are usually more brightly coloured (at least in the breeding season) and smaller (about 5 in. [13 cm] long). They commonly inhabit woodlands and sometimes marshes and dry scrub. Their songs are buzzy and monotonous. The usual nest is a tidy cup in a bush or tree. They lay two to five speckled eggs.
