TWO PLAQUES OF A SAME SET in gilt bronze... - Lot 17 - Aguttes
TWO PLAQUES OF A SAME SET in gilt bronze representing the Coronation of thorns and Christ before Herod after the Little Passion of Albrecht Dürer whose thirty-seven plates were engraved in 1511 (fig.a and b). South Germany, end of the 16th / beginning of the 17th century Height : 16 cm - Width : 12,8 cm (slight accidents, fixing holes) In molded wooden frames. Inscription on the reverse for the one of Christ in front of Herod : Gilded copper from the Little Passion by Albrecht Dürer from the print cabinet of my grandfather Jules Parchment in Bagnols sur Cèze. Smaller series of plates after Dürer's Little Passion are known and are kept in Berlin and Oxford. These two plates, four times larger, have slight variations from the engravings: introduction of landscapes in the background, upper part decorated with leafy volutes and addition to the foreground. All of these prints, which are dated around 1600, attest to the success of Dürer's engraved suite almost a century after its publication. CONSULTED BOOKS - I.
