Albrecht DURER (1471-1528)(after) - Lot 143
Albrecht DURER (1471-1528)(after)
Melencolia
Engraving
Signed in the plate
On Arches wove paper 45 x 31 cm
INFORMATION: Created in 1514, Melencolia is one of Albrecht Dürer's most famous engravings. Its symbolically rich world of angels, polyhedra, Masonic and alchemical references, hourglasses and magic squares has provoked passionate study and inspired many artists, most notably Salvador Dali, who often refers to it.
In order to make this exceptional antique engraving accessible to the public, Artfever Gallery has commissioned a new edition: the plate was engraved by J. Boiteux after the copy conserved at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, and the print was produced in the traditional manner, hand-pulled on a hand press in an intaglio workshop.
