AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Geometric approach to Dürer’s Melencolia
Melencolia (Melancholy) is an engraving from 1514. It measures 24 by 18.8 centimeters. The engraving has frequently been the subject of art-historical discussion. It depicts a melancholic winged figure amidst a scattered, incoherent collection of objects, whose meaning is open to a variety of interpretations. Together with Knight, Death and the Devil (1513) and Saint Jerome in His Study (1514) this engraving is often grouped into a series known as the Meisterstiche.[2] Several prints of the engraving have been made, which are located in a number of museums, print cabinets, and private collections.
Edition: 150, of which 100 are numbered and signed by the author
This is number 60.
The plot comprises:
1. Cardboard folder with a linen back
2. 8-page insert
3. 9 loose pages
Although it is nearly 50 years old, the inner workings are in absolutely mint condition.
The folder has very light signs of wear.
