DAY 1-VICTORIAN & ESTATE ANTIQUES AUCTION | JAN. 29th
Lot 191:
Lithographic print "Young Hare" on paper by listed artist, Albrecht Durer (1471 – 1528). Art measures 9.5" h x 8.5" w presented in a frame measuring 15" x 14".
Artist bio: Durer was probably the greatest artist in German history. By adopting the new forms of the Italian quattrocento and connecting them to the already robust tradition of the German print, he almost single-handedly provoked the Northern Renaissance. For all-around inquisitiveness, he was surpassed only by his older contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci. Durer was interested in everything, from the nap of rabbit’s fur to the theory of human proportion. His graphic work was a sustained paean to the diversity of the world. His curiosity was insatiable, and it drove him to constant journeying.
