Copia in Controparte, prima metà XVI Secolo. Incisione a Bulino e Acquaforte, 115 x 73 mm. Esemplare rifilato al filetto di riquadro, applicato su carta antica. Questa copia dalla celebre incisione di Dürer (1471-1528), di buona qualità grafica, non è descritta da Strauss, The Illustrated Bartsch, 10, Commentary, 1981, p. 45, n.013, B.13. Rientrato dal secondo viaggio in Italia, effettuato per approfondire i suoi studi relativi alla prospettiva e alle proporzioni umane, Dürer realizzò anche le splendide sedici lastre della Piccola Passione su rame (1507-1512), che si caratterizza per un nuovo stile dove la finezza e l'uso sistematico delle linee incise modella le forme in termini di luce e ombra. Nelle tavole su rame sono poche le aree non lavorate rispetto alla Grande Passione in xilografia e un intenso effetto chiaroscurale pervade le scene con una luce quasi spirituale. La Piccola Passione si basa su una serie di disegni su carta, datata 1504, eseguiti a inchiostro e biacca, conservati all'Albertina. . Cfr. anche J.Kantor, Dürer's passions, Cambridge 2000; A.

Benedictus Chelidonius Benedikt Schwalbe humanist and poet.

He explored three primary concerns within this narrowly defined subject: how to imagine Christ as a man in a body how to inscribe himself Dürer into the image and how to account for his viewer in the scene. Because it spans his entire creative career Dürer’s Passion work not only charts his changing attitudes toward these issues it also provides a window onto his artistic development as a whole. The Essay volume includes an illustrated essay a list of the Passion series and related works and illustrations of related works. The Album volume includes illustrations of five of the Passion series: the Large the Green the Small the Engraved and the Oblong Passions. -- with a bonus offer--; 520-canto; Cantor Jordan; Durer Albrecht; Harvard University Art Museums; Kantor Jordan Durer's Passions PRINTS ART PRINTMAKING subject of Christ’s Passion preoccupied the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer 1471-1528 throughout his working life.
