Xilografia misure: mm 280 x 379 Pittore e incisore tedesco. Dopo una prima istruzione presso la bottega del padre orefice, nel 1486 studia con il pittore Michael Wolgemut, il maggiore pittore e xilografo attivo in quegli anni a Norimberga. Di questo primo periodo si conservano rarissimi disegni che portano la firma "Ad", sostituita con il monogramma nel 1496. A partire dal 1490 Dürer inizia i suoi viaggi per la Germania. Lavorando di volta in volta nei luoghi visitati, anche Venezia nel 1494, il suo nome iniziò a circolare. Proprio il primo viaggio in Italia sarà fondamentale per la sua formazione, in particolare, si arricchì del plastico monumentalismo di Mantegna e delle armonie classiche del Pollaiolo e di Giovanni Bellini. Tornato in patria aprì una bottega molto fiorente e stabilì un importante sodalizio con l'elettore di Sassonia Federico il Saggio. Tra il 1507-09 lo ritroviamo a Venezia al centro della raffinata società di nobili, artisti e umanisti della Serenissima, come artista illustre soprattutto per le sue incisioni. In questo periodo l'artista si soffermò su problemi coloristici, dovuti al contatto con Giorgione e Tiziano, risolvendoli in pale d'altare in cui lo spazio, i colori di smalto, il divino "umanizzato" sono le caratteristiche essenziali. Nell'ultimo periodo di vita si occupò principalmente della pubblicazione dei suoi scritti teorici, arricchiti da disegni scientifici. Dürer è il più grande artista del Rinascimento nordico che, attraverso le sue opere, è stato cerniera tra il nord e il sud dell'Europa. La sua grande passione per l'incisione fa si che tale tecnica venga concepita dall'artista come una forma d'arte a se stante, e ne sviluppa e cura temi diversi e innovativi, che lo portano ad essere forse il migliore incisore di stampe antiche, insieme a Goya e Rembrandt. La scena che vede rappresentati Sansone e il leone, si svolge in un paesaggio descritto accuratamente. Due città fortificate, un boschetto sulla sinistra, alberi, arbusti e profili di montagne sullo sfondo che si riversano nel mare solcato da diverse imbarcazione. Nonostante questi particolari l'attenzione dello spettatore si concentra sulla scena in primo piano ricca di pathos e tensione raccontata nel Libro dei Giudici. Per la raffigurazione del soggetto l'artista ha guardato alle opere del Maestro ES (circa 1420 - circa 1468) e di Israhel van Meckenem (1440 ca. - Bocholt 1503). Sansone giudice biblico dalla forza disumana donata da Dio è a cavallo del leone e cerca di forzare la bocca della bestia; l'eroe avvolto nel suo abito panneggiato e svolazzante afferra con tutta la sua forza l'animale dalla folta criniera quasi tangibile. Questa stampa viene messa in relazione con un'altra incisone di Durer: l'Ercole e i Molionidi per l'enfasi, il soggetto e il paesaggio rappresentato, inoltre per l'espressività del volto di Sansone alcuni studiosi hanno ipotizzato che Durer si sia ispirato al volto di Cristo portacroce di Leonardo. Monogramma in basso al centro. La matrice in legno è conservata al Metropolitan Museum of Art a New York. Impressione eccellente dei neri intensi, il cui rilievo è visibile anche al verso. Ottimo stato di conservazione, eccetto una piccola mancanza nel margine superiore di 4 mm e qualche strappo restaurato lungo i margini. Stato tra b e c: con una spaccatura in corrispondenza della roccia e uno nel profilo delle montagne, ma non sul monogramma. Al verso a matita antiche scritte di catalogazione: N15/ B 2; n 893/ b2. , Un altro esemplare è conservato presso la Raccolta delle Stampe Achille Bertelli.

elala5896<p>cGermany: c16th-17th century. The subject Ulrich Varnbüler 1474-1545 was a German humanist and public official. In 1521 he was appointed chancellor to the Reichsregiment 1521-30 which was to exercise imperial powers in Germany in the absence of Charles V. With the Reichsregiment he first resided in Nuremberg where his friend Albrecht Dürer sketched his portrait for a woodcut which was executed in 1522 and upon which this ivory is based. The text in the cartouche of the woodcut reads in translation: "Through this picture Albrecht Dürer from Nuremberg would like to recognize Ulrich the secretary and chief clerk of the Roman imperial government with the surname Varnbüler whom he loves immensely." Varnbüler was also friends with Erasmus and translated into German the latter's adage 'Dulce bellum inexpertis' Basel: 1519. Varnbüler was instrumental in obtaining in the name of the emperor protective privilege against pirated editions for works published by Johan Froben and Andreas Cratander. A number of works were dedicated to him by Cratander Willibald Pirckheimer and Peter II Schöffer.

Light browning to a few of the final text pages. A crisp copy in very good condition. Dürer's foundational treatise on human proportion first Italian edition with over 100 woodcuts. First Italian edition of Albrecht Dürer's celebrated treatise on human proportion translated from the Latin version printed in Nuremberg between 1532 and 1534. Originally conceived as an instructional manual for artists and first published in German in 1528 the work applies mathematical proportion to the depiction of the human body in pursuit of harmonious form. Dürer's position within Renaissance debates is distinctive: unlike Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo he rejected anatomical dissection believing that anatomy fragmented the body and obscured its unity. Geometry and proportion by contrast offered a comprehensive vision of the figure. Published posthumously in Venice by Nicolini in 1591 this folio edition is a cornerstone of scientific anthropometry. The translation by Giovanni Paolo Gallucci expands the original four books with a fifth addressing the artistic representation of human diversity. Celebrated and influential the work bridges Renaissance art theory and scientific inquiry. Domenico Nicolini hardcover

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 Dürers 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-- . Univ paperback
