Xilografia, 1505 circa, monogrammata nella tavoletta in basso a destra. Stato unico, nella terza variante, di cinque, descritte da Meder (n. 233 c/e) Magnifica prova, nitida e ben contrastata, nella terza variante descritta da Meder, caratterizzata da una piccola rottura del legno che comporta una mancanza di circa 5 mm nella parte superiore della linea d’inquadramento. In ottimo stato di conservazione. San Nicola, a sinistra, è identificato dal pane che tiene in mano, che gli fu portato durante una carestia sull'isola dove viveva, dalla barca sullo sfondo. Sant'Erasmo, a destra, sta portando le sue viscere, avvolte intorno a un rocchetto, e inoltre, è identificato dalla ruota con una candela accesa. Al centro c'è Sant'Ulrico, il patrono di Augusta, con in mano il suo simbolo, un pesce. Poiché è al posto d'onore, è stato ipotizzato che questo foglio sia stato commissionato o inteso per essere venduto ad Augusta. Il nome Ulrich non era comune a Norimberga. Questa stampa è spesso considerata come la controparte di un’altra xilografia, raffiguranti i SS. Lorenzo, Sisto e Stefano, sebbene le figure siano più allungate. Alcuni critici hanno anche riconosciuto un concetto spaziale che sembra corrispondere ad alcuni fogli de La Piccola Passione. Di conseguenza, datano questo foglio dopo il ritorno di Dürer dal suo secondo viaggio in Italia, cioè verso il 1508. Ma – osserva Strauss - questa xilografia corrisponde in troppi dettagli ad altre due: il soggetto, lo sfondo, gli uccelli, e inoltre il tipo di carta su cui è stampata, che non la distingue affatto dalle altre cosiddette "modest woodcuts", tutte riferibili agli anni 1503-1505. La forma della tavoletta che porta il monogramma è unica, ma rudimentale. Queste differenze possono essere più propriamente attribuite alla presenza di un'altra mano nella bottega di Dürer che ha modificato il disegno di Dürer in fase di intaglio. Bibliografia Bartsch, 118; Meder, 233 (c/e); Tietze, 398; Panofsky 338; Strauss n. 88. Woodcut, 1505 circa, signed with monogram on tablet lower right. Only state. Impression of Meder variant c/e, with a 5 mm gap in the upper border. Good impression, black, full-bordered, with a 5mm gap in the upper border according the variant c/e described by Meder. Very good condition “St. Nicholaus, on the left, is identified by the bread he is holding, which was brought to him during a famine on the island where he lived by the boat in the background. St. Erasmus, on the right, is carrying his entrails, wound around a reel, and in addition, is identified by the wheel with a burning candle. In the center is St. Ulrich, the patron saint of Augsburg, holding his symbol, a fish. Because he is in the place of honor, it has been surmised that this sheet was commissioned or intended to be sold in Augsburg. The name Ulrich was not common in Nuremberg. This print is often regarded as the counterpart to the preceding one (no. 87), although the figures are longer elongated. Some commentators have also detected a spatial concept that seemingly corresponds to some of the sheets of "The Small Passion' (nos. 106-142). Accordingly, they date this sheet after Dürer's return from his second Italian journey, i.e. c.1508.2 We find that assumption highly speculative. This woodcut corresponds in too many details with at least the two preceding ones: the subject, the background, the birds, and moreover the type of paper that it is printed on, which in no way sets it apart from the other "modest" woodcuts. The shape of the tablet bearing the monogram is unique, yet primitive. These differences can more properly be ascribed to the presence of another hand in Dürer's workshop who modified Dürer's design in preparation for the cutter.” (cf. Strauss, n. 88, p. 296).

Xilografia, 1513, senza monogramma. In una lettera indirizzata a Dürer da Nikolaus Kratzer (1486-155), astronomo di corte del re Enrico VIII d'Inghilterra, Kratzer chiede a Dürer: "Ti prego di mandarmi il ritratto di Stabius, raffigurato come San Kolman, tagliato in legno". La paternità dureriana di questa xilografia non è stata ancora accettata da tutti. Strauss la include tra le xilografie per la forte possibilità che sia basata su un disegno di Dürer, forse frettoloso, e poi tagliata nel blocco senza la sua super visione. Dodgson attribuisce questa stampa a Springinklee, come fa Meder, mentre Schoch afferma che la figura è disegnata troppo bene per essere stata disegnata da Springinklee. L'assenza del suo monogramma non può essere necessariamente interpretata come un'indicazione che Dürer non sia l'autore, perché la xilografia serviva come illustrazione di un foglio accompagnato da un'ode saffica di Stabius, e recante, sopra l’immagine, il seguente testo 'Divo Colomanno martyri sancto: Austrieque patrono/ presentissimo: Joann. Stabius. Au. voti reus. Hoc/ carmen dedicat. Anno dni. etc. M.D.xiij' Dürer conosceva bene Johannes Stabius (morto nel 1522), filosofo e astronomo di corte dell'imperatore Massimiliano. Stabius accompagnò l'imperatore nella sua visita a Norimberga, 3-15 febbraio 1512, ma a quanto pare rimase più a lungo perché il 30 luglio ha preparato un oroscopo a Norimberga per Matthäus von Gurk . Stabius è qui raffigurato nelle vesti di San Colomanno, venerato in Austria. Il santo fu impiccato nel 1020 a Stockerau. Indossa un cappello da pellegrino e tiene nella mano sinistra una frusta intrecciata. I quattro stemmi sono (in senso orario) quelli dell'Impero, dell'Arciducato d'Austria, della Scozia e di Stabius. San Colomanno, secondo la leggenda, era un discendente della famiglia reale scozzese. Magnifica impressione, impressa su carta vergata con filigrane doppia croce e lettere ICP”, in perfetto stato di conservazione. Esemplare nella seconda edizione descritta da Meder e pubblicata da Adam von Bartsch utilizzando la matrice originale conservata all’Albertina di Vienna e datata 1781. Woodcut, 1513, without monogram. In a letter, addressed to Dürer by Nikolaus Kratzer (1486-155), court astronomer to King Henry VIII of England, Kratzer asks Dürer: “I beg you to send me the portrait of Stabius, portrayed as Saint Kolman, cut into wood. "Yet Dürer's authorship of this woodcut has not gained general acceptance Dodgson attributes this print to Springinklee, as does Meder, while Schoch states that the figure is drawn too well to have been designed by Springinklee. Strauss included it among on Dürer’s woodcuts because of the very strong possibility that it is based on a drawing by Dürer, perhaps a hasty one, due to his preoccupation with the master engravings of this period, and then cut into the block without his super vision. The absence of his monogram cannot necessarily be construed as an indication that Dürer was not the author because the woodcut served as illustration of a broadsheet accom panied by a sapphic ode by Stabius, lettered above the woodcut on left sheet: 'Divo Colomanno martyri sancto: Austrieque patrono presentissimo: Joann. Stabius. Au. voti reus. Hoc carmen dedicat. Anno dni. etc. M.D.xiij' Dürer was well acquainted with Johannes Stabius (d. 1522), philosopher, and court astronomer to Emperor Maximilian (see the following woodcuts). Stabius accompanied the emperor on his visit to Nuremberg, 3-15 February 1512, but apparently stayed on for some time because on 30 July he prepared a horoscope at Nuremberg for Matthäus von Gurk. Stabius is pictured here in the guise of St. Coloman, venerated in Austria. The saint was hanged in A.D. 1020 at Stockerau. Wearing a pilgrim's hat, he is holding in his left hand a braided whip. The four coats of arms are (clockwise) those of the Empire, the Archduchy of Austria, Scotland, and of Stabius. St. Coloman, according to legend, was a descendant of the Scottish royal family” (cf. Strauss. p. 483). Example of the second issue described by Meder, printed by Bartsch from the block in the Albertina dated MDCCLXXXI. A fine impression, printed on laid paper with “ICP with Doublecross” watermark, perfect condition. Bartsch, 106; Meder n. 194; TIB 1001.306 (137): Strauss, p. 483-485, n. 169.
Xilografia, 1510 circa, firmata con il monogramma in basso al centro, nell’immagine. Della serie “La Piccola Passione”. Esemplare dalla prima edizione latina, edita nel 1511. Magnifica prova, ricca di toni e ben contrastata, rifilata alla linea del margine, testo latino al verso, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Nota Strauss che l'apostolo in primo piano ricorda "l’Altare Heller", mentre la Vergine ha una stretta somiglianza con quella di Schäufelein nel foglio corrispondente Conformemente alla Scrittura, i seguaci di Cristo sono sormontati da "lingue di fuoco" (Atti 2:1-3) che simboleggiano "l'effusione dello Spirito Santo". Contrariamente a Schäufelein, l'evento si svolge all'aria aperta, e ci sono molti partecipanti in quanto non c'è evidenza che alla scena assistitano solo i discepoli. Uno studio dettagliato, condotto dalla Hass, rivela l’interpretazione personale dell'artista. L'aspetto più sorprendente della versione di Dürer della Penecoste è che l'effusione dello Spirito Santo non è limitata a Maria e ai discepoli: quindici fiamme escono dalle corone di Maria e dei vecchi e nuovi seguaci di Cristo, mentre sullo sfondo tre dei devoti ebrei menzionati negli Atti sono ancora seduti e, guardando, discuno gli eventi davanti a loro. Mentre l'ampliamento del numero – da dodici a quindici - esseri illuminati dallo Spirito può essere giustificata in termini di descrizione fornita negli Atti, rimane una licenza in termini pittorici. I precursori locali, tra cui il maestro di Dürer, Wolgemut, mostrano principalmente dodici figure benedette tra cui la Vergine. Inoltre, nel suo testo di accompagnamento per questa immagine Chelidonius commenta la discesa dello Spirito Santo solo in relazione ai discepoli; anche questo è in contrasto con l'evidenza visiva nell'immagine di Dürer. Intorno al 1509, mentre stava ancora completando la Grande Passione, Dürer iniziò la sua serie più estesa delle passioni di Cristo, La Piccola Passione, che comprende trentasette xilografie. La serie fu pubblicata come libro; ogni tavola è accompagnata da un testo narrativo-descrittivo composto dall'amico di Dürer, il chierico umanista Benedictus Chelidonius, che aveva precedentemente collaborato con l'artista per i testi delle serie di xilografie della Vita della Vergine e della Grande Passione. Fu Friedrich Winkler che nel 1941 suggerì che a fornire il modello per la Piccola Passione fosse stato Hans Schäufelein, uno degli allievi di Dürer, ma questa proposta non è accettata all'unanimità dagli studiosi. Angela Hass nota che, dato ciò che sappiamo del carattere di Dürer e delle relative doti dei due artisti, il rapporto maestro/allievo da solo è in contraddizione. Così come il fatto che c'è un’alterazione sia nella scelta che nell'interpretazione dei soggetti. Dürer include nove temi che non appaiono nella serie di Schäufelein, il frontespizio e le quattro scene introduttive che precedono l'Entrata di Cristo a Gerusalemme, altre quattro scene leggendarie sono state aggiunte, includono i Santi Veronica, Pietro e Paolo; due scene che figurano nell'arco della serie di Schaufelein sono omesse da Dürer, la Spogliazione di Cristo e, più importante, l'Incoronazione della Vergine. Un'altra ragione per mettere in dubbio l'opinione di Winkler deriva dal fatto che una parte sostanziale dell'iconografia che Dürer impiega nella serie della Piccola Passione può essere ricondotta a opere d'arte contemporanee e precedenti che erano facilmente accessibili per entrambi gli artisti. Bibliografia Hollstein, 160; Bartsch, 51; Panofsky, 271; Strauss, 135; TIB 1001.251; A. Hass, Two Devotional Manuals by Albrecht Dürer: The "Small Passion" and the "Engraved Passion." Iconography, Context and Spirituality, in Zeitschrift für Kunstgeschichte 63. Bd., H. 2 (2000), pp. 169-230 (62 pages) Woodcut, 1510 circa, signed lower centre in the image with monogram. From the series The Small Passion. Example from the first latin book edition of 1511. Magnificent proof, printed with tone on contemporary laid paper, irreguralely trimmed to the borderline, very good condition. The apostle in the foreground is reminiscent of the “Heller Altarpiece”, whereas the Virgin bears a close resemblance to Schäufelein’s in the correspondong sheet. Conforming to Scripture, Christ’s followers are surmounted by “cloven tongues as of fire” (Acts 2:1-3) that symbolize the “outpourung of the Holy Spirit”. Contrary to Schäufelein, the event takes place in the open air, and there are many participans as there is no record that the scene was witnessed only by the disciples. However, a detailed study reveals the artist’s personal understanding. The most striking aspect of Dürer’s version of the Penecost is similarly that th inspiration of the Holy Ghost is not confined to Mary and disciples: fifteen flames issue forth from the crowns of Mary and Christ’s old and new followers, while in background three of the devout Jews mentioned in Acts are still seated, looking on and discussing the events before them. While Dürer's expansion of the common number of twelve to fifteen enlightened beings can be justified in terms of the description provided in Acts, it remains a license in pictorial terms. Local forerunners, including Dürer's teacher Wolgemut, principally show twelve blessed figures including the Virgin. Further, in his accompanying text for this image Chelidonius comments on the descent of the Holy Ghost in relation to the disciples only; this too is at odds with the visual evidence in Dürer’s image. The original wood block is in the British Museum. Around 1509, while still completing the Large Passion, Dürer commenced his most extensive series of the Passion of Christ, The Small Passion, which comprises thirty-seven woodcuts. The series was published as a book; each platesi s accompanied by a descritive narrative text composed by Dürer’s friend, the humanist cleric Benedictus Chelidonius, who had previously collaborated with the artist on the texts for the woodcut series of the Life of Virgin and the Large Passion. It was Friedrich Winkler who in 1941 suggested that Hans Schäufelein, one of Dürer’s students, provide the model for the Small Passion, but this proposal is not unanimously accepted by scholars. Angela Hass notes that given what we know of Dürer character and of the relative gifts of the two artists, the Master/pupil relationship alone speaks against it. So, too, does the fact that there is an altered emphasis in both the choice and interpretation of subject matter. Dürer includes nine themes that don't appear in Schäufelein's series , the title page and the four introductory scenes that precede Christ's Entry to Jerusalem, further four legendary scenes were added , they include Sts Veronica, Peter and Paul ; two scenes that feature in Schaufelein's series arc omitted by Dürer , the Disrobing of Christ and , more importantly , the Coronation of the Virgin . Another reason for questioning Winkler’s view arises from the fact that a substantial parte of the iconography which Dürer employs in the Small Passion series can be traced back to contemporary and prior works of art which were readily available to both artists.

Acquatinta e acquaforte, stampata in seppia, 1789. Dalla serie: A collection of prints, after the sketches and drawings of the late celebrated Giovanni Battista Cipriani pubblicata a Londra da John & Josiah Boydell. La serie consiste di cinquanta stampe da disegni di Cipriani 'incisi da Mr. Richard Earlom' inclusee sette incise da Maria Catharina Prestel, Bartolozzi, Kirk e Legat. Richard Earlom (1743-1822) fu uno dei più grandi incisori a mezzatinta e a puntini del suo tempo. Fu apprendista dell'incisore londinese G.B. Cipriani e studiò alla St Martin's Lane Academy. Vinse molti premi per i suoi disegni e incisioni. Nel 1774, iniziò a lavorare per John Boydell per il quale creò trecento tavole dopo Claude, pubblicate come il Liber Veritas (1777-1819). Creò anche per Boydell cinquantuno tavole di Cipriani. Earlom incise opere eccezionali sia dopo i disegni dei suoi contemporanei che dopo i vecchi maestri. Boydell commissionò il suo talento per alcune delle più famose tavole della Houghton Gallery e della Shakespeare Gallery. Giovanni Battista Cipriani, (1727-1785) fu un pittore decorativo e designer fiorentino, attivo principalmente in Inghilterra. Nel 1755 fu portato a Londra dall'architetto Sir William Chambers e dallo scultore Joseph Wilton, che lo avevano conosciuto a Roma. Fu impiegato nella decorazione di molti edifici pubblici e case private e in alcuni casi progettò dettagli architettonici come intonaco, legno e scultura in pietra. Buoni esempi dei suoi dipinti sono alla Somerset House (dove lavorò per Chambers) e nel Philadelphia Museum of Art (una serie originariamente eseguita per Lansdowne House, Londra). Fu anche attivo come insegnante alla Royal Academy (fu membro fondatore nel 1768 e disegnò il suo diploma), e i suoi numerosi disegni decorativi (molti incisi da Bartolozzi, suo amico dai tempi degli studenti) ebbero una grande influenza. Il lavoro di Cipriani è compiuto piuttosto che ispirato, ma fu, nelle parole di Sir Ellis Waterhouse, 'una delle grandi figure di retrovia dello stile neoclassico in Inghilterra'. Aquatint and etching, printed in sepia ink, 1789. From the series: A collection of prints, after the sketches and drawings of the late celebrated Giovanni Battista Cipriani published in London by John & Josiah Boydell. The series consists of fifty-plate series of facsimile prints of Cipriani's drawings 'engraved by Mr. Richard Earlom' includes seven engraved by Maria Catharina Prestel, Bartolozzi, Kirk and Legat.. A letterpress contents page of the same sheet size, kept under Earlom's name with the majority of the series, gives titles and the series publication date of September 1st, 1789. Richard Earlom (1743-1822) was one of the greatest mezzotint and stipple engravers of his day. He was apprenticed to the London based engraver, G.B. Cipriani and studied at the St Martin's Lane Academy. He won many prizes for his drawings and engravings. In 1774, he began work for John Boydell for whom he created three hundred plates after Claude, published as the Liber Veritas (1777-1819). He also created for Boydell fifty-one plates after Cipriani. Earlom engraved outstanding works both after the designs of his contemporaries and after the old masters. Boydell commissioned his talents for some of the most famous plates in The Houghton Gallery and The Shakespeare Gallery. Giovanni Battista Cipriani, (1727-1785) was a Florentine decorative painter and designer, active mainly in England. In 1755 he was brought to London by the architect Sir William Chambers and the sculptor Joseph Wilton, who had met him in Rome. He was employed in the decoration of many public buildings and private houses and in some cases designed such architectural details as plasterwork, woodwork, and stonecarving. Good examples of his paintings are at Somerset House (where he worked for Chambers) and in the Philadelphia Museum of Art (a series originally executed for Lansdowne House, London). He was also active as a teacher at the Royal Academy (he was a foundation member in 1768 and designed its diploma), and his numerous decorative designs (many engraved by Bartolozzi, his friend since student days) had wide influence. Cipriani's work is accomplished rather than inspired, but he was, in the words of Sir Ellis Waterhouse, 'one of the great backroom figures of the Neoclassic style in England'.

Il lavoro di Cipriani è compiuto piuttosto che ispirato, ma fu, nelle parole di Sir Ellis Waterhouse, 'una delle grandi figure di retrovia dello stile neoclassico in Inghilterra'. Aquatint and etching, printed in sepia ink, 1789. From the series: A collection of prints, after the sketches and drawings of the late celebrated Giovanni Battista Cipriani published in London by John & Josiah Boydell in 1789. The series consists of fifty-plate series of facsimile prints of Cipriani's drawings 'engraved by Mr. Richard Earlom' includes seven engraved by Maria Catharina Prestel, Bartolozzi, Kirk and Legat.. A letterpress contents page of the same sheet size, kept under Earlom's name with the majority of the series, gives titles and the series publication date of September 1st, 1789. Richard Earlom (1743-1822) was one of the greatest mezzotint and stipple engravers of his day. He was apprenticed to the London based engraver, G.B. Cipriani and studied at the St Martin's Lane Academy. He won many prizes for his drawings and engravings. In 1774, he began work for John Boydell for whom he created three hundred plates after Claude, published as the Liber Veritas (1777-1819). He also created for Boydell fifty-one plates after Cipriani. Earlom engraved outstanding works both after the designs of his contemporaries and after the old masters. Boydell commissioned his talents for some of the most famous plates in The Houghton Gallery and The Shakespeare Gallery. Giovanni Battista Cipriani, (1727-1785) was a Florentine decorative painter and designer, active mainly in England. In 1755 he was brought to London by the architect Sir William Chambers and the sculptor Joseph Wilton, who had met him in Rome. He was employed in the decoration of many public buildings and private houses and in some cases designed such architectural details as plasterwork, woodwork, and stonecarving. Good examples of his paintings are at Somerset House (where he worked for Chambers) and in the Philadelphia Museum of Art (a series originally executed for Lansdowne House, London). He was also active as a teacher at the Royal Academy (he was a foundation member in 1768 and designed its diploma), and his numerous decorative designs (many engraved by Bartolozzi, his friend since student days) had wide influence. Cipriani's work is accomplished rather than inspired, but he was, in the words of Sir Ellis Waterhouse, 'one of the great backroom figures of the Neoclassic style in England'.
8vo., First Edition, with a frontispiece, text browning at edges, neat inscription on dedication; decorative cloth blocked in silver, backstrip lettered in silver, one corner lightly bruised else a very good, tight copy in price-clipped dustwrapper, the latter lightly age-soiled and with minor loss at lower edge of front panel. The bibliography of this school tale is confused. The author is given variously as W.E. Eastways (dustwrapper and title) and W.W. Eastways (series catalogue on dustwrapper rear panel). BLPC gives the latter and records two editions, neither of which matches the present copy. Here the pagination matches the first edition of 1949, though the imprint is Children's Press (not Collins). A scarce survival in this condition.
