Lucas van Leyden
1521 Chalk and charcoal, 368 x 255 mm British Museum, London The legend (below left), "effigies Lucae Leidensis," is not by D?rer. The "L [Lucas] 1525" above it shows that the drawing was once given out to be a work of the Dutch artist. If that was incorrect, it still cannot be denied that in its calm physiognomy the drawing is close to the Dutch manner. The hair falling in strands is not stylised in D?rer's fashion. The whole piece is in the severe manner of the late period, with a strongly emphasized contrast between the fundamental horizontal and vertical directions. The background is dark and uniform.Artist:D?RER, Albrecht Title: "Lucas van Leyden" Painted in 1501-1550 , German - - graphics : portrait
