| Description historique: | |
Gazing down in absolute adoration, Mary offers sustenance to baby Christ. Mary smiles slightly with maternal love as she feeds her child, exemplifying her joy in giving birth to and caring for the baby Christ. The artist clearly states the holiness of both figures within this work, surrounding them in halos of white light. The use of strong parallel lines defines the two figures, particularly in the background and the folds of Mary's drapery. This elaborate use of shading and contrast between light and dark defines the space in which these two figures rest, providing a sense of depth and perspective. This work is a copy in mirror image by a student or follower of Dürer
created after the original engraving by Albrecht Dürer (Nuremburg, 1471-
Nuremburg, 1528). ORIGINAL ENGRAVING BY DURER FROM WHICH THIS WORK WAS BASED DOCUMENTED AND ILLUSTRATED IN: 1) Bartsch. (1981). The Illustrated Bartsch. Abaris Books: New York. Listed

La biographie de The School of Durer
<p>Albrecht Dürer (Nuremburg, 1471- Nuremburg, 1528) greatly influenced artists
of succeeding generations, particularly in printmaking. His reputation, which
spread far and wide across Europe through his prints, inspired other major artists
such as Raphael (1483 - 1520), Titian (1477 - 1576), and Parmigianino (1503
- 1540), who later followed in Dürer's footsteps and entered into collaborations
with printmakers to distribute their work beyond local regions.</p>
<p>
Dürer's prints greatly affected his German successors such as Hans Baldung
Grien (1484 - 1545) and Albrecht Altdorfer (1480 - 1538), particularly the "Little
Masters" who worked on a small scale but continued to depict Dürer's
themes. Many Italian engravers such as Giulio Campagnola (1482 - 1415), Christofano
Robetta (1462 - 1534), Marcantonio Raimondi (1475 - 1534), and Agostino Veneziano
(1490 - 1540) trained after Dürer, learning from and admiring his work.
They often directly copied parts of his landscape backgrounds or the prints
in their entirety in order to better their craft. Seen as a master printmaker
and artistic inspiration, the School of Dürer emerged with works created
in his masterful style by students and admirers alike. <br>
