Albrecht Durer

Madonna on a Grassy Bench

1503 Engraving, 115 x 70 mm Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge Except for The Four Witches, this is the first of D?rer's engravings to bear a date. Henceforth he dated them consistently. Vasari remarks that D?rer here "surpassed Martin Schongauer, as well as himself." This engraving, based on a preparatory drawing, is the most sensitive of the early Madonnas, quite in the convivial style of the Life of the Virgin woodcut series.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: Madonna on a Grassy Bench Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : religious
