Effigies Alberti Dureri Norici, Pictoris, et Sculptoris

Antwerp: Henricus Hondius, 1629. Engraving. Image measures 8.5 x 6.5". This handsome portrait is of the famed German painter and engraver Albrecht Dürer. Drawn after a painting by Tommaso di Andrea Vincidor, an Italian Renaissance painter and architect who trained with Raphael, the portrait shows Dürer wearing a fur-trimmed coat and cap and looking pensively off to his left. Below the oval portrait is a trompe-l'oeil banner nailed to the wall that bears the title and description of the image. The print is a dark impression in excellent condition with no chips or tears. Andries Jacobsz Stock (1580--1648) was a Baroque engraver, printmaker and illustrator who worked as an assistant to Henrik Hondius I. This scarce portrait of Dürer honors one of the most celebrated German artists of all time. (Inventory #: 243279)
