Albrecht Dürer

Saints Nicholas, Ulrich and Erasmus; and The Elevation of Saint Mary Magdalene (B. 118, 121; M., Holl. 233, 237)

Two woodcut prints by Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer depicting religious subjects: Saints Nicholas, Ulrich and Erasmus, and The Elevation of Saint Mary Magdalene. The works exemplify Dürer's mastery of the woodcut medium and his treatment of sacred themes.

Medium
Two woodcuts, B. 118, circa 1505, a good Meder b-c impression, on paper with a Scales in Circle watermark; and B. 121, circa 1504-05, a later impression, presumably Meder f, on paper with an indecipherable watermark, each unframed
