[Anon. after Albrecht Dürer, c.1650.]
Etching, platemark 125 x 100mm (5 x 4"). Top right corner missing, damaged. Thread margins.
Copy of Albrecht Dürer's (1471-1528) woodcut 'The Harrowing of Hell' from his small woodcut passion series of 1510-11. Dürer's series told the story of Man's Salvation from the Fall to the Last Judgement, in 37 images. It was published in a book with a text by a Nuremberg Benedictine monk, evolving a new kind of book in which the pictures were the main element.
