The Virgin on the Crescent with a Scepter and a Starry Crown Albrecht Dürer

A very good, richly inked impression, printing particularly strongly in the dark areas. With narrow margins. Immediately before the beginning of the Reformation, marked by Luther’s publication of the Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, Dürer once again devoted particular attention to representations of the Virgin, a preoccupation which continued until circa 1521–22. His aim was to combine the close observation of earthly reality achieved in the 'Life of the Virgin' with a renewed emphasis on the sacred. In the 'Virgin with the Crown of Stars', Dürer depicts the Mother of God in the traditional guise of the Apocalyptic Woman. – With a few brown spots. Verso with occasional remains of old adhesive. Otherwise in good condition. | 1471 - Nuremberg - 1528 | 15.-18. Jahrhundert | Druckgrafik | Nummer: 26x2102
