I am looking for research (books, journal articles, reports) on Baroque era hermitages. I am primarily interested in those in Italy, Germany and Central Europe, however I would also like to hear about sites in other areas of Europe. I am primarily interested in locations and their landscape settings, but history and architecture are also of interest. Renaissance sites, and a general history of hermitages would also be of interest.
There are two books indicated:
Frank, Christoph (2002), "Die Gemäldesammlungen Gotzkowsky, Eimbke und Stein: Zur Berliner Sammlungsgeschichte während des Siebenjährigen Krieges.", in Michael North, Kunstsammeln und Geschmack im 18. Jahrhundert (in German), Berlin: Berlin Verlag Spitz, pp. 117–194, ISBN 3-8305-0312-1
Norman, Geraldine (1997), The Hermitage; The Biography of a Great Museum, New York: Fromm International, ISBN 0-88064-190-8
Thank you, this is very helpful. I had already ordered the Norman book, but am interested to read the Frank article.

There is a portrayal of heremitage in the German literature of the time of the thirty years war, to be found in the most famous novel (picaresque) of the era by Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen: "Simplicissimus teutsch." (There are numerous editions.) There is also a recent monograph dealing with heremitage in Grimmelshausen's work: Lars Kaminski, Vita Simplicii. Einsiedlerleben und Antoniusverehrung bei Grimmelshausen. Lang, Frankfurt/M. u. a. 2010.
