Wenceslaus Hollar (Artist) Albrecht Dürer (After)
Albrecht Dürer

Artwork Detail
Albrecht Dürer was the most famous artist of the
Northern Renaissance and the Earl of Arundel coveted
his work. Perhaps to his annoyance, the city council of
Nuremberg presented this painting by Dürer – along
with one other – to the earl as a gift for Charles I.
It seems that the earl had both paintings copied so that
he too could enjoy them. Hollar would have had access
to the copies in the earl’s collection and must have
made detailed drawings of them from which he later
made this print.
