Beschreibung
Nuremberg Chronicle - Creation of Eve - Possibly after Dürer sketch -1493 / Description: Old coloured woodcut from the first edition of Hartmann Schedel, "Liber Cronicarum", from 12 July 1493. Adam works hard as Eve suckles Cain and Abel after the expulsion from Eden. From 'Nuremberg Chronicle' or 'Liber Chronicarum' by Hartmann Schedel (1440-1514). The wood blocks were designed by Michael Wolgemut and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff and their assistants, including the young Albrecht Dürer, who was apprenticed to Wolgemut at the time. The printing was carried out under the supervision of the great scholar-printer Anton Koberger. Wohlgemut was Albrecht Durer's tutor between 1486-90. Since the young Dürer was working in the workshop in the years 1486-1489 when many of the early designs for the Chronicle were made he might be involved. In the case of Adam and Eve after they left Eden, the preliminary sketch has been preserved. (See Adrian Wilson - 1976: The making of the Nuremberg Chronicle, p.105). The rhythmic flow of the thick and thin lines of this sketch is that of a master hand and the treatment of the facial features suggests Durer's sketch of the Madonna enthrone with Saints, now in Musée Bonnat, Bayonne. The tree of Cain and Abel on the backside is as also based on a preserved sketch (See Adrian Wilson - 1976: The making of the Nuremberg Chronicle, p.105), also one of the few designs possibly made by Dürer. Here in a good impression from the old coloured luxury editions of the Cronicarum who were described as the most expensive ones. / Dimensions: 25,50 x 22,50 cm / Condition: Excellent condition. / Literature: Liber Chronicarum, here a first edition , printed by Anton Koberger in Nuremberg on 12 July 1493 in old colouring. It is one of the best-documented early printed books. It is classified as an incunabulum, a book, pamphlet, or broadside that was printed (not handwritten) before the year 1501 in Europe. The luxury editions in old colouring are mentioned in literature and were of the most expensive. ----- Adrian Wilson - 1976: The making of the Nuremberg Chronicle. / Medium: Woodcut /Circa: 1493
